Hello every FOAMER,

Thank you very much for all of your post and reply because I have learnt many thing from it through this forum.

Currently, I am using InterFoam to study the case of capillary rise with dynamic alpha contact angle Cox's model. The new library for Cox's contact angle was compiled. My trouble is that I would like to plot the capillary number with time. Anyone please give me advice.

Thank you very much, any comment is the great help for me

Zang

Hi Zang,


You could create a functionObject to monitor Ca. Some examples are given in: $WM_PROJECT_DIR/src/functionObjects/field


You just need to create a duplicate and edit the relevant entries to match your needs.



Thanks,


Vincent

Dear Zang,

Please share your experience with the Cox's model. Did you compare Cox's results with that of Kistler's model? Will you please share the Cox's model OpenFoam code.

Kind regards
Rajesh
