Convergence, but veeeery small values for alpha -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

January 11, 2017, 21:04	Convergence, but veeeery small values for alpha	#1
DancingButterfly New Member - Join Date: Oct 2016 Posts: 15 Rep Power: 10	hello everybody I am doing a simulation using an adapted version of the damBreak tutorial working with interfoam. I get convergence and the simulation looks nice. However, if I check the values for alpha, the maximum value is 10^-16. Which is totally unlogical and makes no sense, as it should be 1 for the points where liquid is in. Has somebody experience something similar or has an idea what to change? I really hope somebody has an idea, everything is appreciated!!!! Thank you
