Drag in twoPhaseEulerFoam

lavdwall · September 28, 2015, 11:16

Hi everyone!

I am looking deeper into the twoPhaseEulerFoam source code. In UEqns.H the following line can be found to include the drag force:

Code:

U1Eqn += fvm::Sp(dragCoeff, U1);

Is this correct? I would think that instead of the velocity U1, the relative velocity U1-U2 should be used here...

Kind regards,
Laurien

you should dig a little deeper,
i think it is implemented correctly,
how an argument is passed doesn't say anything about
the implementation of the function.
what is returned by the function is ultimately important.
