definition of moment coefficient
 
hi all,

Could anybody tell me what is definition of moment coefficient (Cm) in Fluent?

thank in advance

Check chapter 22, reporting alphanumeric data. There is you're formula you looking for

Thank you. I have already found it.

Relate to moment coeffcient, we must choose correct reference values. I am using 2D model. Could anybody tell me how to choose correct these values?
Cm = \frac{M}{\frac{1}{2}\rho v^{2}AL}
So, in 2D problem, unit of these quantities are such as M [N], \rho [kg/m^{3}], v [m/s], A [m^{2}], L [m], correct?
For example: a rectangular with dimension WxH = 0.3 x 0.1m, rolling on calm water surface level 1.5m. What I should choose reference values for v, L, A...?

Reference values
 
Hello,

if anyone can tell me , whether we need to change the reference values before starting the iterations in fluent.

The reference values which are already visible has the density of air while I am working for water as a medium.

It will be a great help if anyone of you can guide me in this. Thanks :)
