https://ibb.co/6g54WYJI am simulating with two fluids. In the parallel channel, I want to change the position of the fluid till the vertical channel which is (0.0018 0.0006 0.0006) but even after setting this in setFieldsDict I am getting varied results, the initial image from paraview is attached.

How do I increase the thickness till the vertical column using setFields?

I don't know if you can "change" the position. At least is is not a good way.

I recommend starting with internalField uniform 0; in the alpha file and use setFields to do all the rest.
