Hi everybody,

I'm using icoUncoupledKinematicParcelFoam to compute water droplets impingement above planes.
My problem is that the output file named "position", which as far as I know tells you the label of the cell where the particle hit the wall, says that the droplet is in a cell which doesn't have a face that belongs to a wall.
In other word many droplets hit the wall but they're not in a cell near it.

How is it possible?
I tried to change mesh and change the integration time step in the controldict dictionary but nothing worth it.
CheckMesh anyway is OK, if I run with -allGeometry Face Tets is OK but I get 1 fail due to small determinant.

the geometry is an half-wing in a test tunnel and the solver is running with a stick condition for the particles
