      The forces exerted by a phase on a wall surface can be evaluated using custom-field-functions. The procedure is outlined in the attached document. Such a post-processing/monitoring would be useful in simulations like tank sloshing, where force exerted by the liquid phase on some internal walls may be of interest.
