Please check the boundary conditions. Also, look at the capillary pressure- saturation relationship using wetting/scanning curve.

The program does not count anything by itself. There is a specific algorithm, there is input data. Without the possibility of interference in the program (there is no such option), one can only guess. Regards,
Revers flow always appear in transient flow simulation , mainly two reasons , large Guarant No. or large time step .
Best regards.
Erroneous input data (eg too large integration step) determine incorrect results. It is obvious. But is this a mistake? Regards,
In transient calculations , big step = big in-correct results= revers flow & many other problems including divergence of solution .
You can use variable step technique , adjust both Guarant No. and max. step , then the solution go faster and converge.
Best regards.

Explains about the oscillation of capillary meniscus
Hi,
I want to simulate a transient two-phase flow with VOF in porous media considering capillary action. The porous zone is initially filled with air. I want to model the displacement of air with liquid water due to capillary forces. My main interest is the degree of wetting and the spreading of the wetting front. How to model capillary effects in the porous zone?
Best regards
