forces dependency on nAlphaCorr and nAlphaSubCycles

Using interPhaseChangeFoam I experience sudden increase in forces on my structure when increasing nAlphaCorr above 1 and a decrease in forces when increasing nAlphaSubcycles.
When going from nAlphaCorr = nAlphaSubCycles = 1 to nAlphaCorr =2 nAlphaSubCycles = 3 the forces (suddenly) increases by 35%. Only one phase is present and the phaseChange is not initialized. Alpha1 is close to 1 ( [0.9991 1.001]) Has anyone experienced something similar? |

no one experienced the same issue?
Clarification: Changing nAlphaCorr and/or nAlphaSubCycles changes (immeditaly) the forces output from the forces functionobject. I suspect it has something to do with the implementation of the forces functionobject. |
