Hi there,

my simulation model for two or more layered coatings shows surface oscillations which are similar to the ones shown in this article:
https://cfd.direct/openfoam/free-sof...ace-capturing/

Let's keep it simple for now and just face the dambreak4phase tutorial. I am using OF8 in this case.

When changing the discretization method to MPLIC, PLIC, MPLICU or PLICU, Fatal errors occur. Any suggestions how to implement this?

Thanks a lot
Alex
