pressureGradient dictionary

Hi,

I need to implement a pressureGradient force for spray parcels. I want to simulate gas parcels into a liquid using sprayFoam.

However, pressureGradient force needs a dictionary, and I have not been able to find an example of such a dictionary.
Can anyone provide an example, please?

Thanks

Voila! :D

Code:

    particleForces

    {

                gravity;

                pressureGradient

                {

                        U        U;

                };



    }

Note: This works for 2.1.x

Hi,
It doesn't work with DPMFoam in 2.3.0

In DPMFoam the velocity field of the fluid phase is named with Uc rather than U. So you just need to write:

Code:

    particleForces

    {

        gravity;

        pressureGradient

        {

            U    Uc;

        };



    }

Thanks, But it leads to this error:

DPMFoam uses U.air for velocity so using U.air instead of Uc leads to:

Code:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:

Try

Code:

    interpolationSchemes

    {

        rho.air             cell;

        U.air               cellPoint;

        mu.air              cell;

        DUcDt            cellPoint;

    }
