Greetings

I would like to fix volume fraction of air at 1 (and hence zero for solid particles) during the simulation in a region defined as fluid-part-lower as seen in the code below. My thinking is that i should fix particle velocity at zero in this region and alpha.air and alpha.particles at 1 and 0 respectively. This is however not working. could anyone help me correct the problem

fixedVelocity
{
type vectorFixedValueConstraint;


selectionMode cellZone;
cellZone fluid-part-lower;

fieldValues
{
U.particles (0 0 0);
}

}



volumeFraction
{
type scalarFixedValueConstraint;



selectionMode cellZone;
cellZone fluid-part-lower;

fieldValues
{
alphar.particles 0;
alphar.air 1;

}
}
