Hello.
I'm facing a weird problem. I am trying to simulate a two phase flow around tandem cylinders and setFields utility cannot set the domain between (-0.025 < z < 0) to alpha.1=1.
It generates random field. I assume the numbering of the mesh is wrong somewhere. Any ideas how to fix this?

Code:
defaultFieldValues
(
    volScalarFieldValue alpha.1 0
);

regions
(
    boxToCell
    {
        box (-1.5 -1 -0.025) (1.5 1 0);
        fieldValues
        (
        volScalarFieldValue alpha.1 1
        );

    }

);

Code:
Checking geometry...
    Overall domain bounding box (-1.5 -1 -0.025) (1.5 1 0)
    Mesh has 3 geometric (non-empty/wedge) directions (1 1 1)
    Mesh has 3 solution (non-empty) directions (1 1 1)
    Boundary openness (3.76656e-15 2.6662e-15 4.39426e-15) OK.
    Max cell openness = 3.4972e-16 OK.
    Max aspect ratio = 49.1753 OK.
    Minimum face area = 9.05366e-08. Maximum face area = 0.000120445.  Face area magnitudes OK.
    Min volume = 6.33756e-11. Max volume = 7.73568e-07.  Total volume = 2.61402.  Cell volumes OK.
    Mesh non-orthogonality Max: 59.85 average: 10.4086
    Non-orthogonality check OK.
    Face pyramids OK.
    Max skewness = 0.980032 OK.
    Coupled point location match (average 0) OK.

Mesh OK.


Thanks.
