billy is on a distinguished road
I tried to produce a lid driven cavity flow using interFoam. I set initial values of gamma in some cells to 1.0 and the rest to 0.0. I wanted to simulate a mixing of two fluids, however I get always the same message even using smaller time steps:

Reading transportProperties

Selecting incompressible transport model Newtonian

Calculating field g.h

time step continuity errors : sum local = 0, global = 0, cumulative = 0

Starting time loop


Max Courant Number = -0
Time = 0.001

Liquid phase volume fraction = 0 Min(gamma) = 0 Max(gamma) = 0
Liquid phase volume fraction = 0 Min(gamma) = 0 Max(gamma) = 0
Liquid phase volume fraction = 0 Min(gamma) = 0 Max(gamma) = 0
Liquid phase volume fraction = 0 Min(gamma) = 0 Max(gamma) = 0
time step continuity errors : sum local = nan, global = nan, cumulative = nan
ExecutionTime = 0.12 s

...

Does anyone know what might be wrong?
