Help with 3D Two Phase Flow

October 2, 2003, 09:59

I am currently working on an aerofoil partially submerged in water with air as the second phase. I have set the fluids to be imiscible with separate velocities. This should create a free surface with a wave over the aerofoil. However it is not solving. I am using Fluent 6, does anyone have any suggestions as to where my model could be going wrong.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi!

I've seen some simmilar simulations using VoF...maybe that's your answer.

Make sure that you are specifying your volume fractions correctly, i.e. vof1 and vof2.
