Hi ..

i am trying to run damBreak case for 3 D case and My blockmesh looks ok with the geometry but there are some issue with the patch. I m getting some warning related to patch. I have taken the boundary conditions of side walls (which was empty-type in 2 D case and run well on my machine) similar to the rightwall boundary condition.i.e. Zerogradient/u=0.

The error reported as:

[343880@w191-210 interFoam]$ interFoam . damBreak-expt

Yes - reported non-orthogonality is 180 deg, and it should be (well) below 90 deg. This mesh is wrong - did you actually look at it?

Yea. There was kinda basic mistake of not taking x-y-z system in proper order. now my case is running fine.
Thank you hrv!
cheers!!

Hi Nishant,
I am also getting the same error as you reported in cavity problem with icoFoam. Your previous post tells about "xyzsystem" can you explain the solution.
