Hello Pete, Thanks for your reply... This is the error when I type interDyMFoam and entered I ve faced:

Mesh OK.

Are you using the Allrun script? I recommend doing so, as it wraps all meshing and running into a single call:

./Allrun

Well done, I could run the case with Allrun script. Thank you Pete... I want to model periodic wave in a flume which there will be two layer waters with different salinity and temperature. The periodic wave at the end of the flume will break on a slope. I am wondering if your code can be modified for this case either. Many thanks and I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

If you need buoyancy forces due to temperature you will need a different solver. I'm not sure if there is one in OpenFOAM that solves for temperature and volume fraction for three different phases. Best to check the forums at http://cfd-online.com.
