Hey everyone,

I am trying to create my own case with the air-water interface. I ran the command setFields in the terminal and I did not get any error. I am also getting the alpha.water file with '0' and '1'. But for some reason, I am unable to view the resultant field in ParaView. I have attached the link to the screen record of me trying to view the results in the ParaView along with this.

alpha.water is not appearing in the drop-down button where 'solid colour', 'vtkCompositeIndex' etc...
Since that is not visible in the video I have also attached a picture which shows it.

Can anyone tell me the reason for this?

Thank you in advance

Kind regards

Hi! Did you find the reason for this problem?

Hello,

Hard to answer without the screenshot, but my best guess is you have to untick the "skip zero time" in ParaView when loading your case in order to load the 0 time variables.

Cheers,
Yann

It is an old post, but for anyone need an answer the below might help:



In case you run a simulation on OpenFOAM for a multiphase flow and can not visualize the alpha.<liquid> field, you may try below:



1. Filters -> Alphabetical -> Extract Surface



2. Extract Surface (right click) -> Alphabetical -> Generate Surface Normals.



Hope that helps someone.
