Hello.
I've been trying to validate the interFoam solver and i had some problems with the dam break tutorial. I noticed the following error:

The level of the free surface begins to fall before the fluid's wavefront reach the wall that is in contact with it.

I found some papers with experimental solutions of this case and the solutions given are quite different.

I've not made modifications on the tutorial, and if it is a demonstration of the openFOAM capacity i don't understand why this error.

If anybody else has noticed this please reply!

Thanks!

P.S: sorry for my English.
