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.

Hi,

which reference do you refer to? The dambreak tutorial is based upon experiments by Koshizuka in 1995:
Koshizuka S, Tamako H, Oka Y. A particle method for incompressible viscous flow with fluid fragmentation.
Computational Fluid Mechanics Journal 1995; 113:134 –147.
For nice highspeed pictures have a look at
Deborah M. Greaves, Simulation of viscous water column collapse using adapting hierarchical grids.
Int. J. Numer. Meth. Fluids 2006; 50:693–711
Could you sketch the expected behavior and the one simulated in a illustrative drawing?

best,

Hi, Forgive me for not replying earlier. Well, my reference is the following:

By J. S. Wang, H. G. Ni, and Y. S. He. FINITE-DIFFERENCE TVD SCHEME FOR COMPUTATION OF DAM-BREAK PROBLEMS.
Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, Vol. 126, No. 4, April, 2000.

Here a figure extracted from the paper above named:



The level of the water column (10 meters) is not decreasing until the wavefront reaches the left side of the column, namely, the wall that is in contact with the column of fluid.
