Mesh in a Two Phase Flow

SallesJlle · March 26, 2019, 10:59

Hello folks, how are you?

I am new in openfoam and I need a little help. I need creat a 3D mesh with the cross sectional area like this one in the attached picture. I need to set up the blue part with water and the red part with air. Can you help me? If you know some tutorials or books that have a similar case to indicate, I will be very gracefull.

Best regards!

Hi,

You can set the alpha field to the value you like by use of setFields. The dambreak tutorial uses this utility. You will need to change the cell sources from boxToCell to one of these:
