[Other] Adaptive Mesh Refinement only working with certain domain size.

Hi Foamers,

I am simulating a multiphase flow consists of a single droplet simulated under different domain size condition. I would like to utilize AMR in my simulation. However, I encounter a problem whereby AMR is only working with certain domain size and not the other. Are there any strict requirement with the domain sizing or meshing strategies that I need to consider when using AMR?

Here I enclosed the photo of two different domain size. One with domain width of 4-dropletDiameter (working) and the other with 8-dropletDiameter (not working)

Quick answer;
Please try more cells when you are increasing domain size!
Best,
Saeed
