Hi...
I am new to openFoam, for the past week I am stuck with my problem. I am trying to simulate water falling on a circular tube surface. interFoam was selected as the base solver with dambreak as the base case.
slight modification were made with files of dambreak.

internalField was set as uniform 0. alpha.water for inlet as type fixedValue and value uniform 1. Wall B.C's as zeroGradient.

p_rgh B.C's
internalField uniform 0
walls as type fixedFluxPressure; value uniform 0;
inlet as type fixedValue; value uniform 0;

U B.C's
internalField uniform 0
wall as type fixedValue; value uniform (0 0 0);
inlet as type flowRateInletVelocity; massFlowRate constant 0.1; rhoInlet 1;

setFields as
defaultFieldValues
(
volScalarFieldValue alpha.water 0
);

After some time steps min(alpha1) deviates to too negative value. the terminal shows

Time = 0.000215

From the first glimpse I'd say you miss an outlet boundary. But I can't tell for sure until you post your p_rgh an U files. You let water flow into a domain. As for interFoam, all phases including gas/air are incompressible, some material has to leave the domain to fulfill continuity. Add an atmosphere at the top or an outlet boundary at the bottom of your domain.

Cheers

So now I see, that you have an atmosphere boundary condition. So my first guess was wrong. But I also see, that your Courant number is quite big for multi phase simulations with interFoam. Could you post a picture of your simulation domain and the mesh you use? You could try to increase the nonOrthCorrectors and do a checkMesh to see if your mesh is sufficient for simulation.

An one more question! Do you use fixed time steps? This could be the reason for the high Courant number. Change adjustTimeSteps to true in controlDict.

currently i am working with fixed time step. a dynamic time step is leading to very small time step.

That's the point. you have to keep Co below 1 even if this leads to small dT. I see you have a tet-Mesh. So I'd increase the nonOrth correctors to 2 and use adjustTimeStep. This should solve your problems.

Cheers

Dear Fabian,

Currently working with adjusttimestep. time step in the order of e-6....will update the results soon,

Thanks

Dear Fabian,

Carried out simulations for 0.008 seconds. The results obtained are confusing. It looks like no flow have happened. velocity and pressure ranges are so high after 0.008 seconds.
4.jpg alpha

5.jpg pressure

6.jpg velocity

I doubt some thing have gone wrong with the boundary condition. Please have a look at the B.C's posted in earlier comment. only variation made from above is that of outlet velocity where I have used
OUTLET
{
type fluxCorrectedVelocity;
phi phi;
rho rho;
}
Since I am unsure of the velocity at outlet.

Thanks in advance
Arjun

Have you increased the nonOrth correctos? As you have a tet mesh you should adapt your fvSchemes and fvSolution. And moreover, as you have a small inlet velocity of 0.03 m/s, the phase will only travel 0.00024 m in the first 0.008 s. I guess your mesh is not that fine.

Dear Fabian,
Yes I have increased the nNonOrthogonalCorrectors to 2. I agree that the time for which simulation have done is too low but why i am i getting high pressure and velocity range, also alpha is still appreciably negativeand becomes more negative with time step.

Thanks in advance
Arjun

Hi,
I am using interFOAM for the simulation of flow through injector. While monitoring the values, the value of alpha min was getting more and more negative with each time step, I tried with different FVSCHEMES and FVSOLUTIONS but the effects weren't such satisfactory. I am confused about the results can anyone please help? I am attaching all the necessary files. Thanks in advance.
