Hi all, I am trying to simulate a dam break with sloping sea wall using the compressibleMultiphaseInterFoam solver. After running blockMesh and setFields, I get this error when compressibleMultiphaseInterFoam is running:

I've checked the boundary conditions and they all seem fine. Could use some help, thank you.
