Dear foamers,
I have put up a relatively simple case using interFoam, based on the approach in damBreak and 2D nozzle tutorials. I use setFields to "place" a load of water inside a pipe, which then is supposed to flush through the S-shaped geometry, and out. However, the water does not seem to exit the pipe at all. I have the following BCs (using OF 1.7.x): alpha0: inlet { type inletOutlet; inletValue uniform 0; value uniform 0; } outlet { type inletOutlet; inletValue uniform 0; value uniform 0; } U: inlet { type zeroGradient; } outlet { type zeroGradient; } p_rgh: inlet { type fixedValue; value uniform 0; } outlet { type fixedValue; value uniform -200; } |
