What does interface.correct() do exactly?

Loki Kerry · February 18, 2018, 23:46

Hello everyone,

I'm building a numerical wave tank based on interFoam solver, I tried to replace MULES with a more compact interface-capturing method.

The problem is that if I don't include this line: interface.correct(), which is from interFoam solver, the interface caculated turns out to be unsteady.

So, what dose this function do, I can't find it anywhere.

Thanks in advance.

Fairly easy to find:
https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...ceProperties.H

It updates the interface curvature.
