Problems with OpenFoaminterFoam and ACE

dingo1234

Dear all.

I'm modeling a drop of the water drop.
First calculations were done using ACE program.
Now I have recalculate this problem using OpenFoam/interFoam.

Results between ACE and interFoam are different, despite fact that both configurations are similar.

All physical units are in mm, ms, g.

When I introduce ConvertToMeters 0.1, and rescale the radius of sphere by factor 10 I obtain correct physical behaviour.
Maybe some physical parameters is missing ?

Thank You.
