Dear all,


I am using solids4Foam to simulate wave-induced seabed response. Firstly I imported the wave pressure obtained from interfoam results on the seabed surface by using "timeaveragedvaryingmappefield" and then I run the case. However, I don't think the pore water pressure is the right one. What is your opinion? since I am not pretty sure that the numerical settings, especially the boundary condition that I set are correct. I attached all the files here. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
