wavefunction is on a distinguished road
Hello.

I'm trying to simulate sessile droplet evaporation in a surrounding hotter atmosphere and I am using a custom solver that I found online called interThermalPhaseChangeFoam. I tried to modify the BubbleCondensation tutorial that they have given to make it a droplet evaporation case.

The velocity seems to be attaining ridiculously high values in this case as a result of which the time step is increasing by itself to huge orders.

I think the problem might lie in the boundary conditions I've used as well. I'm not very sure of the boundary conditions that I've given.

Kindly give me tips on how to proceed solving the problem. Please let me know if there is any additional information I need to provide.
