Hi everyone,
May I ask how can I get the wavefront velocity in dam-break case? In the velocity contour, I can see the velocity distribution, but how can I get the exact velocity in the wavefront? I searched this, but could not find the accurate solution. Thank you!

Hi Shilong,
just do a contour filter with alpha.water = 0.5 and export the data ("Save data") for all the timesteps in txt or your preferred format. Now you can import and play with it in any data processing program.


Best,
Pablo
