[OpenFOAM] openFoam damBreak visualization issue

kulc · August 30, 2021, 20:27

Hi, I run openFoam tutorial 'damBreak' project but my result (attached) looks completely different than https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...aking-of-a-dam

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Graphic Card: Intel® HD Graphics 4600 (HSW GT2)

Any idea what might cause this problem?

I also installed openFoam and ParaView on a different PC with WIN 10 and I have very same issue. Tried ParaView 9, 8 and 5, still the result is wrong.

Try having a look at results other than velocity. Liquid fraction for example.
That should give you some hints what went wrong. Maybe the initialization went wrong. Maybe gravity is zero...
It is likely not a problem with Paraview, but with OpenFOAM.

My apologies. I thought I could run the tutorial only with blockMesh and interFoam. It works perfectly with Allrun.

Thanks flotus1, your replay helped me.
