Hi

I've already posted in the "OpenFOAM Running / Solving / CFD" section about this issue, but I'm starting to think that may be there is a bug in the interMixingFoam.

I tried to test the interMixingFoam solver when studing gravity currents. So I took the tutorial example but changing the initial alpha fields. The initial condition is a horizontal free surface, and two separated phases, with different densities (I attach the whole example).

I expected to see the gravity currents due the difference in density, but both liquid phases behave as they have the same properties.

What could it be wrong?

Thanks!

Martin
