hi all,

i am trying to implement the gammaContactAngle model for my problem, and i see the same error consistently. simple setup

:: 0/gamma
lowerWall
{
type gammaContactAngle;
theta0 10;
uTheta 0;
thetaA 10;
thetaR 10;
value uniform 1;
}

:: constant/polyMesh/boundary
type wall;
physicalType wallContactAngle;

i've tried other gammaContactAngle models (constant and dynamic) all to the same effect. any advice would be appreciated.

thanks. error attached below.

Hi Anthony

try this

type constantGammaContactAngle;
theta0 20;
value uniform 0;

similarly for your config above you need to write

lowerWall
{
type dynamicGammaContactAngle;
theta0 10;
uTheta 0;
thetaA 10;
thetaR 10;
value uniform 1;
}

and it shall work. Let me know if it didn't

Hope that helps

Hi jaswi,

I have succesfully applied the condition:

type constantGammaContactAngle;
theta0 20;
value uniform 0;

I saw that theta0 is the contact angle in degrees, but I don't know what "uniform 0" means. I've worked with uniform 0 and uniform 1 and the results I've obtained are similar

Hello Isabel,

with this parameter you are setting the value for gamma (or alpha1 if you are working with OF1.6) at your boundary. It probably didn't make a difference since you changed that value with "setFields" afterwards anyway.

Thank you very much, sinusmontis, but I didn't use "setFields" Is it neccesary?

Hello everybody,

In OpenFOAM 1.5, the boundary condition dynamic and constant gamma contact angle works Ok:

lowerWall
{
type dynamicGammaContactAngle;
theta0 10;
uTheta 0;
thetaA 10;
thetaR 10;
value uniform 1;
}


In OpenFOAM 1.7.1, I tried the same boundary condition as follows:

lowerWall
{
type dynamicAlphaContactAngle;
theta0 10;
uTheta 0;
thetaA 10;
thetaR 10;
value uniform 1;
}


But this time I have the following error:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
keyword limit is undefined in dictionary "/home/isabel/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/tutorials/multiphase/interFoam/laminar/damBreak/0/alpha1::boundaryField::lowerWall"

file: /home/isabel/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/tutorials/multiphase/interFoam/laminar/damBreak/0/alpha1::boundaryField::lowerWall from line 41 to line 46.

FOAM exiting


So I added the line I tipped in red, and the solver runs Ok:


lowerWall
{
type dynamicAlphaContactAngle;
theta0 10;
uTheta 0;
thetaA 10;
thetaR 10;
value uniform 1;
limit alpha 1;
}


Does anybody knows what the line I added “limit alpha 1” means in OpenFOAM 1.7.1?
