Hi!

I want to set the velocity of a cell to 0 if the value or alpha1 (water phase) is less than a certain value (like <0.01) since I want to reduce the velocity of air

I implemented this in Ueqn right after the convective term:
Code:
forAll(U, celli)
	{
		if (alpha1[celli] < 0.01) 
		{
			U[celli] == vector(0.0,0.0,0.0);
			
		}
	}
but it doesn't re-assign the values.
Maybe I'm positioning the code wrong? or it the way it is written?
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
