Hi.
I get an alpha at 1.6.
I think alpha is supposed to be bounded between 0 and 1.
I have the following settings in fvSolutions:

Code:
"alpha.water.*"
    {
        nAlphaCorr      1;
        nAlphaSubCycles 2;
        cAlpha          1;
        icAlpha         0; 

        MULESCorr       yes;
        nLimiterIter    10;
        alphaApplyPrevCorr  yes;

        solver          smoothSolver;
        smoother        symGaussSeidel;
        tolerance       1e-8;
        relTol          0;
        minIter         1;
    }
Does anybody have an idea about how to solve this?
