Sonicfoam Forward Step Modification - NoSlip not working.
 

Hello everyone,


I tried to run a modified version of the "SonicFoam/laminar/forwardStep" example.



Following simple modifications were preformed:



in blockMeshDict changed top and bottom to type patch:


bottom
{
type patch;
faces
(
(0 1 9 8)
);
}
top
{
type patch;
faces
(
(5 13 14 6)
(6 14 15 7)
);
}


For the initial condition i changed in p and T:
top
{
type zeroGradient;
}

bottom
{
type zeroGradient;
}


And in U:

bottom
{
type noSlip;
}

top
{
type noSlip;
}




When I run the simulation the results look still like the original simple step. It did not account for the no slip boundary conditions. Does anyone have a clue? (please find my simulation enclosed)


Thanks for any kind of help!


Cheers, Sam
