Hello everyone, I am a student who has just started using CFD.
I am currently researching wave-related problems.
I would like to generate waves based on the wave conditions provided in a paper.
However, the wave height specified in the paper is on the millimeter scale.

Here are the wave conditions from the paper:

Wave height: 0.001 m

Period: 0.33 s

Water depth: 0.025 m

As for the wave tank setup and mesh resolution, I am using:

x-length: 0.5 m

z-length: 0.03 m

dx: 0.5 / 5000 = 0.0001 m

dz: 0.03 / 300 = 0.0001 m

The current problem I am facing is that the wave gauge I set up doesn't seem to detect any significant water level changes — the variations are extremely weak.

If there is any additional information needed, please let me know and I’ll be happy to provide it.
