wave problem

nchu286 · February 3, 2010, 04:53

i tried to produce a very simple wave (input wave amplitude,period,and fluid height)and wanted to see the free surface elevation at the most front-end
.I run 100s and the first 40s the elevation is a regular wave but after it ,it suddenly climb it high and became irregular .
So did anyone know where is the problem.Thx
Ps:the fluid is one fluid ,linear

did you use lagrangian VOF method?

didn't flow-3d always use the method??

Could it be because a reflected wave came back to the wave boundary? What do you have as BC on other mesh boundaries?

I think this is always the reason. What is the possible solution?

I know that flow-3d implements the sponge layer at the outflow boundary. But even with this active, I still have some reflection from the boundary.

Any suggestions?

You need to figure it out by playing with the sponge layer parameters and mesh dimension. No much I can do from here.
