I need to calculate the force caused by the flow on a patch.
In the first picture you can see the result of the simpleFoam solver. In the second there's the patch I want to calculate Fx on. I tried in Parafoam to integrate pressure on the surface but maybe I miss something (BTW, is there a tutorial regarding this managements ?) Another simple question: p for incompressible solver is actually divided by density. That means that the real pressure at the end has to be multiplied by density, right ? Daniele |
