How to trace the droplet over the solid surface

ravijain10 · March 16, 2015, 08:49

HI all,
I have a geometry where I have a water droplet kept over a solid plate and the continuous phase (air) flows over it, now I need to know where the water droplet moves.
I have tried to know the volume fraction inside the droplet of phase 2(i.e. water) but its vague and not a satisfactory result.
Is there any way to trace the water volume over the solid plate?

Hi, what do you mean by "trace"? Visually trace? Write coordinates? Anything else?
If yu want to only see where is your drplet just create isosurface with value 0.5, which is the liquid-gas interface and colour that isosurface in the countour plot.
