I was having trouble with a more complicated VOF simulation so I tried reducing the complexity to the most simple case possible: a box filled 80% with water, air the top, and a pressure outlet. Gravity acts downward, holding the water in the container. When I run the simulation I expect nothing to happen, however the water disappears and the simulation is garbage. Can anyone advise me on any mistakes I made?
