Dear Niels,

As I tested your brilliant waves2Foam, a problem on pd in 0 file or any result files (I guess it is dynamic pressure) appears when I modify sealevel in waveProperties.input to any number except 0. It means that the pd value is fixed to [rho*g* (sealevel) + calculated pd value] and depends on the sealevel I chose so that I cannot modify the sealevel to any value I want.

Besides, I re-code your setWaveField.C and set the p_[celli] = 0; however, the results of pd shows the same problem as indicated above when changing sealevel to nonzero.

So can you please help me to address this problem that modifying this model to suit any sealevel?

Thank you so much.

Best regards,
Zaibin

Hallo Zaibin,

The interFoam solver - and conseqently waveFoam - comes with a reference level for hydrostatic pressure. To compensate for this, the dynamic pressure is finite, if the still water level is not placed at 0. Are you experiencing problems, besides the offset in pd?

You can always adjust the code to take a reference level different from zero.

Kind regards,

Niels

Hi Niels,

That's all problem i encountered, thank you very much. And may I ask you when the waves2foam solver for foam-3.0 will be published? I appreciate that it is a very tough work for modifying original code to suit a new foam. Many thanks for your work indeed.

Kind regards,
Zaibin

Hi Zaibin,

I have a couple of bug-reports, which I need to take care of this weekend, so I hope that I will also be able to push a version of waveFoam for foam-extend into that work.

Have a nice weekend,

Niels
