Hello - I would like to solve for incompressible, inviscid flow (Euler Equations) for two phases (waves, NOT bubbles) in OpenFOAM. I am considering 3 options and I could use some advice on which may produce the best results or what problems I may run into:

1) Simply use interFoam and set viscosity to approximately zero (i.e. 1E-10 or something like this)
2) Write a new solver based on interFoam removing the viscous term in the Navier-Stokes equation
3) Use twoPhaseEulerFoam - although I am reluctant to use this solver since it is more difficult for me to see exactly how the solver is working and it seems to be geared more towards bubbles.

Any advice is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Betsy
