Hi All,

I am running particle laden non-reacting flows with twoPhaseEulerFoam from OF3.0.1. The maximum volume fraction is located at the particle injector, which is about 0.00011. I think for the whole domain, the volume fraction at each point cannot be larger this value. However, from the output. I think the maximum volume fraction is greater than 0.00013. Please see as below:

Is there any problem for this maximum volume fraction (0.000130570829), when at the particle inlet alpha = 0.00011 ?
