Dear All,


Does anyone have any ideas why the water surface is following the deformation in the mesh rather than recalculating and following the physically correct water surface level?
I've attached the fvSchemes and fvSolutions. Any hints on what may be wrong would be much appreciated!

fvScheme:
Code:
ddtSchemes
{
    default         Euler;
// default 	  CrankNicolson 0.9; 
}

gradSchemes
{
    default         Gauss linear;
}

divSchemes
{
    div(rhoPhi,U)   Gauss limitedLinearV 1; 
    div(phi,alpha)  Gauss vanLeer;
    div(phirb,alpha) Gauss interfaceCompression;
    div(phi,k)      Gauss upwind;
    div(phi,epsilon) Gauss upwind;
    div(((rho*nuEff)*dev2(T(grad(U))))) Gauss linear;

}

laplacianSchemes
{
    default         Gauss linear corrected;
}

interpolationSchemes
{
    default         linear;
}

snGradSchemes
{
    default         corrected;
}

fluxRequired
{
    default         no;
    p_rgh;
    pcorr;
    alpha.water;
}
