Hi everyone,
I am simulating 3D flow at a sharp open-channel junction. I use the solver interFoam with k-epsilon model. At initial time, I set BC as the figure in attached file. The result is very strange. It looks like having a strong flow from the wall opposite of tributary channel to push water cross the main channel. Do you meet this error? Please give me your advise. Thank you very much. |

Hi Chuyen,
Welcome to the fórum! The inlet velocities in the two inlet surfaces are in the same direction (0 0.6 0). The velocities should be in directions normal to the surfaces. Best Regards, Paulo |

Hi Paulo,
Thank you for your reply. But at the main inlet, the normal direction of surface is x-direction and at the tributary inlet, the normal direction of surface is y-direction. So I set the velocity Um = ( 0.06 0 0 ) (x-direction) at the main inlet, and Ub = ( 0 0.6 0 ) (y-direction) at the tributary inlet (the velocities at two inlets are different). is it wrong? It's really doing my head in. Best regard, Chuyen. |

Hi everybody,
I'm sorry for annoying everyone. I just fix my error. It is due to the mistake of gravity direction. Thank you very much. |
