Hello, OFers!

I have read about the wiki page describing about the solver of potentialFoam at :http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/PotentialFoam

the pressure equation for potential flow is , but the implementation of the potentialFoam is as follows:

Code:
 
00059         fvScalarMatrix pEqn
00060         (
00061             fvm::laplacian
00062             (
00063                 dimensionedScalar
00064                 (
00065                     "1",
00066                     dimTime/p.dimensions()*dimensionSet(0, 2, -2, 0, 0),
00067                     1
00068                 ),
00069                 p
00070             )
00071          ==
00072             fvc::div(phi)
00073         );
00074
why it is not as the equation described in the wiki page? and how to dervie this equation?

Might help the documentation updated 10 years after your question?
