I think I have found the error in interFoam. I have open a new thread in OpenFoam/Bugs: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-bugs/77509-solved-contact-angle-correction-interfoam.html

Again...

Finally, I think that the interface compression procedure is not the cause of the modification of the contact angle, but, as it modifies the gradient of alpha, the effect is different. In fact, it is...

Hi,

after many tests, I concluded that the interface compression modifies, somehow, the interface angle in the first cell attached to the wall.

This modification depends on the mesh size. I...

Actually, I don't think that the problem is in the VOF method, but only in the interface compression procedure.

I have found this reference:

K. K. So, X. Y. Hu and N. A. Adams, Anti-diffusion...

This is the state of the problem:


Two vertical plates separated by a gap of 300 microns
Gravity multiplied by 10 (i.e. g=98.1 m/s^2) in order to reduce the computational domain.

Thank you, Richard, for your explanation. It makes sense.

I am thinking that, in fact, there is no U, since the flow is in equilibrium, and the interface position is constant, but there are the...

Here I post the results for three different mesh sizes. The labels are for the edgeGrading in blockMeshDict, with the same number of cells. The sizes of the cell close to the walls are:

Hi, Sebastian,

thank you for your answer.

Well, if I am not wrong, the definition of the normal vector is with the angle between interface and wall. That is:
normal vector to interface =...

"real" contact angle in the first cell layer

Hi,

I am trying to simulate capillary driven flows in micro-channels. When I saw some strange results, I made a simple test-bench: I simply simulated the capillary climbing of fluid between two...
