Hi FOAMERS;

I am working with the interFOAM solver to study the interface between two different fluids. The main concept as I read from a paper(Raeini) says that, the net surface force for a closed interface is to be 0.

I have a very high magnitude of spurious currents and wish to work towards reducing them.

I just wanted to check the surface forces {mixture.surfaceTensionForce()} and I can get the values for each cell at the interface as output which is being calculated from the interface.C file. Any idea of how can I get the net surface force for a moving interface?
