Hello everyone,

I'm trying to simulate a wavemaker with the interFoam solver (air phase + water phase) considering a laminar flow.
I have implemented my own input kinematics based on the uniform velocity profile of a piston-type wavemaker.
My mesh is a 3m long wave flume, with a water depth of 0.6m.
The resolution is 5cm, except around the free surface where I had to refine the mesh to capture the free surface position accurately (resolution of 2mm).
I also had to refine the mesh at the wavemaker to account for the local high velocity gradients due to the no-slip boundary condition an the paddle (resolution of 5mm).

My simulation always crashes at the same time (t = 0.40s).
I didn't use adaptative time-stepping, and reducing the time step doesn't avoid the crash.
Also, the courant number doesn't go up before it crashes.

My boundary conditions are:

U:

inlet
{
type waveVelocity;
refValue uniform ( 0 0 0 );
refGradient uniform ( 0 0 0 );
valueFraction uniform 1;
value uniform ( 0 0 0 );
}
bottom
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform ( 0 0 0 );
}
outlet
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform ( 0 0 0 );
}
atmosphere
{
type pressureInletOutletVelocity;
value uniform ( 0 0 0 );
}
front
{
type slip;
}
back
{
type slip;
}


p_rgh:

front
{
type zeroGradient;
}
back
{
type zeroGradient;
}
bottom
{
type zeroGradient;
}
inlet
{
type zeroGradient;
}
outlet
{
type zeroGradient;
}
atmosphere
{
type totalPressure;
rho none;
psi none;
gamma 1;
p0 uniform 0;
value uniform 0;
}


alpha1:

inlet
{
type waveAlpha;
refValue uniform 0;
refGrad uniform 0;
valueFraction uniform 1;
value uniform 0;
}
bottom
{
type zeroGradient;
}
outlet
{
type zeroGradient;
}
atmosphere
{
type inletOutlet;
inletValue uniform 0;
value uniform 0;
}
front
{
type zeroGradient;
}
back
{
type zeroGradient;
}


Here are the last 3 iterations before it crashes, could anyone help ?
