Input contact angle values as a function of time in InterFoam

sushrutha · November 20, 2013, 10:27

Hello,

I am trying to simulate droplet spread as a test case using InterFoam (OF 1.7). I wanted to input contact angle values at different times similar to 'timeVaryingUniformFixedValue', was curious to see if anyone tried doing this before. I came across another option 'timeVaryingAlphaContactAngle', but it essentially takes an upper and a lower limit for alpha and does a linear interpolation between the two rather than being able to input contact angle dynamically. Can we achieve this using 'swak4foam' or the 'groovyBC'? Any ideas or suggestions are most appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi, I have been looking for a method to do this but I am not getting any as yet. Any suggestions/ideas would be of great help.

Thank you.
