Hi guys,

just want to ask for comments:


Drag Coefficient Output @ OpenFoam ControlDict -> 2.83 (like literature)
Paraview PostProcessing Calculation -> 2.49....


These are my paraviewsteps in short:


1)Extracted Surface
2)Generate Surface Normals
3)Calculated:
cp = normals*p; ->Pressure Drag
cf=normals*mu*wallGradU_y -> Friction Drag
4) Build Integral Drag=(cp_X+cf_X)*3.14156 (for Aref=1) equals in 2.49


Did I miss something?
