Default interFoam wave not propagating

Hi!


I am trying to simulate cnoidal/stokesI ocean waves over an obstacle (wall) using interFoam (openfoam v2106). I used toposet and subset mesh to make wall in domain and used cnoidal case as base case. There is no error in my simulation however the waves are not propagating upto the wall. When I remove the wall obstacle, the waves propagate but when I add the obstacle in domain, the waves stop propagating upto the end even though they are being generated at inlet. I am attaching pictures for reference. Please help!!




Thanks!!

update: So I solved the issue by changing boundary condition of the sea wall. It is supposed to be waveVelocity in U
