Hello.
I'm a beginner using openfoam. This is what I want to solve.
I have two layers of incompressible flow. I want to define the value of the velocity at the interphase (ub) using a function that depends in the average velocity of the bottom layer (u). Please have a look on the attachment to have a better idea ub=f(u).
First, I want to try that boundary condition using the same liquid (layer1 and layer 2 are the same) and then, I want to try two different liquids (liquid of layer2 denser than liquid 1).
I'd like to know if that is possible in openFoam, I need to be able to set the value of the velocity at the interphase. I was considering to use Interfoam but I'm struggling to set that conditions in the interphase for the velocity.
Thank you for your help in advance.

you can analyze the velocity of the interface after the simulation with paraview
