BlnPhoenix is on a distinguished road
Hello,

i want to adopt the dambreak case of multiPhaseInterFoam for a three phase problem. I got the case to run but in the results the different phases do not appear distinguished as in the tutorial case. With setFieldsdict i set an area of 0.5 oil and 0.5 water Volume fraction in my domain. After i ran, the scale of the alphas field does not go below 0.5 in any area of my case, so the different phases can not be distinguished. I think with alphas from 0 to 2 one can distinguish the phases visually (0=phase 1, 1 = phase 2 and 2 = phase 3). But its not possible in my case .

Has anyone experienced this kind of error?! What can i try to do. I have no ideas anymore what to do.
Thanks!
