Hi,

I am working with drops spreading on a surface. My simulation with interFOAM works fine, and I am able to extract the stream function using the streamFunction utility. However, I want my stream functions to be separate for air and water. How do i go about this?

Dear Deepak,
Is your model 3-D or 2-D? I have used streamFunction utility in my model, but it didn't work!

Best regards!

streamFunction utility does not work for a 3D model. stream functions are defined for 2D flows only!

Thank you ! But I want to plot the streamlines at a cutting plane in 3-D channel to observe secondary mean flow, do you have good method?
