Hi~ I met a problem in VOF modeling.

I made a one sixth cyclic model, which is pizza-like shape.
The cyclic region consists the two cutting faces.
The two cutting faces contact with the inlet face.
In the full model, there is a little water inlet with radius 1 cm on the top.
I hope that water fall down through the inlet with a mass flow rate 0.1 kg/s and reach the bottom to spread and splash out.

In Mesh module, I built cyclic region with low/high geometry and rotating axis.
In Fluent, TUI command successfully created rotational cyclic boundaries.
I choose VOF model and check the option of "Open Channel Flow" in page "General".
In Page "Phases", get into "Interaction...", find tab "Surface tension" and check "Surface tension force Modeling".
The "Wall adhesion" and "Jump adhesion" left unchecked.
The surface tension coefficient(n/m) is set 0.3.

When I press "Calculate", there is a Error:
FLUENT received fatal signal(ACCESS_VIOLATION)
1.Note exact events leading oto error.
2.Save case/data under new name.
3.Exit program and restart to continue.
4.Report error to your distributor.

Then I uncheck "Surface tension force Modeling" and it works.
It also works when I set the surface tension force to zero.

I'd like to ask what is wrong in my setup?
Thanks for your attention!

I unchecked "Open Channel Flow" and made the inlet far from the periodic boundary, but the results are the same as before.
The problem is still on "Surface tension force Modeling."
If you know why this happened or how to solve the situation, please tell me.
Thank you!

Switch off node based smoothing option or node based curvature calculation option from the TUI solve > set > surface-tension.

It might work.
