Hello all,
I have just run the damBreak3d simulation with no changes made as a test. Compiled and ran fine, but when it came to visualising the results it did not appear as I expected.
Specifically, the water simply “lumped” over the obstacle, with no droplets or splashing forming.
I am using the suggested parallel parameters:
2. kinematic viscosity in physical Units (m^2/s) .\n"; 1.e-6
3. Bond number (Bo = rho * g * L^2 / gamma).\n"; 100
4. Contact angle (in degrees).\n"; 80
5. number of lattice nodes for lz .\n"; 100
6. delta_t .\n"; 1.e-4
7. maxIter .\n"; 80000
Am I making a silly mistake here? The interface.stl should capture droplets that form, correct?
EDIT
On re-running the simulation the water does splash, creating droplets when it hits the obstacle. The problem now is that the droplets suddenly expand in the air to fill the entire domain and I get the following error in the output file (sudden jump in lost mass).
