Hi All,
Im running the bubblecolumn tutorial and when i go to visualize the bubbles I cant see them. Can someone please explain how to visualize the bubbles in Paraview.

Have you tried going to the display tab and selecting color -> alpha1 from the drop-down box?

I figured it out. I forgot to run setFields before I ran the solver.

Hey Dear Physics1.
Will you please forward me the tutorial column of bubble column that you are using?
I need it. My email ID is mohashin93@gmail.com

Greetings to all!

@Mohashin: there's no need to send you the files via email! They're accessible in the "tutorials" folder on most OpenFOAM installations! You can find them by running these commands:

Code:

cd $FOAM_TUTORIALS
find . -iname "*bubble*"

For example, you should see the following tutorials in 2.1.x:

Code:

./multiphase/compressibleTwoPhaseEulerFoam/bubbleColumn
./multiphase/twoPhaseEulerFoam/bubbleColumn
./multiphase/bubbleFoam/bubbleColumn
./multiphase/multiphaseEulerFoam/bubbleColumn

As you can see, instead of just one, there are 4!

Best regards,
Bruno
