Hi Foamers,
I am really struggling with simulating the contaminant transport in water by using the new function object phaseScalarTransport in interFoam. I have read some threads on this topic in the forum and been trying to modifiy the controlDict in my own case, but the results are quite ridiculous, which is incomprehensible for me.
Here is my codes of phaseScalarTransport function and the results of the simulation in 5s :

  scalarTransport
  {
    type            phaseScalarTransport;
    libs            ("libsolverFunctionObjects.so");
    enabled         true;
    writeControl    writeTime;
    writeInterval   1;
    rho             rho;
    phase           alpha.water;
    field           s.water;
    diffusion       viscosity;
    alphal          1;
    alphat          1;
    nut             nut;
    resetOnStartUp  no;
   }

Anyone ? Please give me some suggestions.

Hi Thomas,

My first guess would be about the discretisation scheme you use for the convection of the scalar. You will need some stabilization on that term typically. It looks like you now have too little of that and then you can get unbounded results.

Cheers,
Tom

Thank you very much for your reply! I will have a try.

Hi Thomas，

I have the same problem at present. Have you solved your problem?
Could you please share your experience?

Thanks in advance！

I have solved the problem.
The fvOptions should be removed from system/controlDict--functions--sTransport.
