Why the results from 3.5 and 4.3 are so different?

I am doing simulation on 3.5 and 4.3. With almost the same setting. The results from these two versions are totally different. Which one shall I trust?

Well, if that happened, I wouldn't trust either one until I compared the detailed boundary conditions, meshes, and more. And I would try finer meshes and higher order elements, if I had enough memory. And you might even try a fiducial problem (i.e., one where you know the solution analytically) and compare the two to what you know in advance is the right answer. Good luck.
