Pls trying to understand the meaning of contour for the variable Water.Force (for example at one side of bade of centrifugal impeller for water pump) and how calculated..
The pic is at the suction side of blade.

I am not completely sure what the force variable actually is - I suspect it is the force acting on that element face (assuming it is a wall boundary). But I am not sure.

So I do not use it, and I make sure I use variables I understand - for instance pressure or wall shear.
