Hi every body
I want to calculate drag coefficient that is applied to a bubble which arises in a liquid. You know that forceCoeff code is for a boundary patch.

Thanks

According to my searches, drag should be calculated using force balance on bubble.

Thank you for your message. Could you tell me more? Which forces are in balance?

You can find the Terminal velocity of the bubble using the balance of all of the forces applied to it, such as gravity, buoyancy, drag ,... . Finally the drag force can be found with Terminal velocity.
