Summary
Model geometry
The dam-break problem (collapse of the water column) is calculated for 1 second. The ceiling of the analysis domain (region "atmosphere") is assumed to be open, and the left wall, right wall and floor are assumed to be under no-slip conditions. The calculation is performed as a two-dimensional problem with a single mesh in the Z direction.
The direction of gravity acceleration is defined in the file "constant/g" as follows.
dimensions [0 1 -2 0 0 0 0]; value (0 -9.81 0);
In the file "constant/turbulenceProperties", we set that the turbulence model should not be used in the calculation by setting the following.
simulationType laminar;
The meshes are as follows, and the number of mesh is 2268.
