Wave Elevation

Hi!

I completed my multiphase ship flow analysis in OpenFOAM. I wanted to open the data in Tecplot. However, when take the isosurface of alpha.water at 0.5 it shows me iso volume of 0.5 around entire flow domain and it covers inlet outlet and symmetry sides, too. Can anyone help me how to show wave elevation on free surface using Tecplot step by step?

Thank you.

Whats probably happening here is that your boundaries are 0 and then there is interpolation happening in the boundary volume cells which result in a value of 0.5 somewhere in the middle of the cell.

Blanking will probably be your best way around this.

Otherwise sharing your data with support@tecplot.com we can see there are other ways to work around the issue.
