Summary0002832: interFoam: unstable when restarting a reconstructed case
DescriptionWhen restarting an interFoam case in serial after reconstructing a parallel run, the restart is not smooth. Same, when the reconstructed case is again decomposed again, and restarted in parallel. One can see this in the min/max alpha-values, and also forces a oscillating quite remarkable.
If the face velocity field Uf is deleted, the re-start is smooth.
Steps To Reproduce1. Run DTCHullMoving tutorial for a short time (e.g. 0.1 s).
2. Reconstruct
3. Run in serial
4. Plot forces

Does this problem only occur when restarting a reconstructed case or also when restarting a parallel run or a serial run?

The issue is reconstructPar treating all surface fields as fluxes and setting the sign according to the face orientation.

Only occures when restarting a reconstructed case. Is there any need for storing Uf?

Same as phi in the static mesh case; formally these are needed to get an accurate restart but not critical.
