Hi,

I tried to reproduce your problem without success. I took the depthCharge2D case, removed the sphere from setFields, so to fill the bottom of the container with phase1, and I set nu = 0.01 (10...

I would say that what you observe (the deformation and non-vertical movement) is a consequence of the high velocities you should observe at the interface.

There was a discussion on this forum...

Thank you for your updates.

Yes, solving the momentum predictor is expected to play an important role when viscous stresses are important or dominant.

What kind of instability? Altered...

You should plot the initial residuals of the equations and study their trend to see if the solution of the coupled system converges.

The fact that improvements appear reducing the time step seem...

Hi Paul,

I believe the problem is of numerical origin. Did you check the evolution of the residuals and the convergence of your solution?

Indeed, increasing the viscosity ratio so much makes the whole idea of VOF, based on a mixture approach, questionable...

From a numerical point of view, implementing the PIMPLE procedure to allow...
