strange in computation of normal vector

Dear everyone,
I tried to plot the gradient of alpha.water and normal vector of interface using gradient of alpha.water with interFoam solver. And I found a thing that is quite strange for me as shown in the attached file. Variables are defined as: gradAlpha = fvc::grad(alpha1) nAlphaVec = gradAlpha/(mag(gradAlpha) + epsilon) with epsilon = 1.0e-8 I think that alpha1, gradAlpha and nAlphaVec should have the same contours, however, the contour of nAlphaVec is very different compare to 2 other ones. Could someone help me to explain what is the reason for that. I thank you very much |
