Hi OpenFoamers,

I made a simple 3D multiphase case to test different ways of generating mesh (snappyHexMesh, blockMesh, Gmsh, etc). So far I am satisfied with the paraView, but I am still confused about how to visualize the free wave surface in 3D.

1. Free wave surface
3D damBreak case

Cull surface view


Transparent view

We can see from the above figures, the water wave surface (aplha1 in this case) is basically in 2D, so I was wondering how do I make it in 3D like this:



2. Velocity field

Since there are 2 phases (air & water), and the air velocity is much faster than the water velocity, so we can only see the result on top.



Is it possible to realize that only the water velocity field (vector or contour) visible? Because the velocity filed of water is of interest.

Regards,

David.
