Dear comunity,

currently i am on a project of modeling a slot die coating process. I am using interFoam. My Fluid come out of the die ( direction minus x ) and will be coated on an moving substrat (movingWall) (movement to positiv y ). The force g is (-9,81 0 0)

in the following, i posted my BC.

Now my problem is, that i have a thin air-film between the coated fluid and my substrat. My substrate is not wetted but it should.

Is this caused by a wrong pressure BC on movingWall? Or is there a bether velocityBC than movingWallVelocity?

I already tried a refined mesh, but nothing has changed.
