Hello,

I have used interfoam before to model dam break cases in OpenFOAM but now I have been trying to model it using shallowWaterFoam but I have been having trouble seeting my boundary conditions.

Specifically I dont know what to set the boundary conditions for inlet, outlet and sides. More specifically:
  • u: inlet and outlet boundary condition
    (default: type fixed value uniform (0.1 0 0) and type zeroGradient)
  • h: sides, inlet and outlet
    (default: type zeroGradient, type zeroGradient and typed fixed value uniform (0.1 0 0))
  • htotal: sides, inlet and outlet
    (default: type calculated, value uniform 0.01, type calculated, value uniform 0.01 and type calculated, value uniform 0.01)
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks,
Ioanna
