Hello,
I am new and I need to simulate a rising droplet with openfoam (interFoam), it run fine, but I faced a problem when I want to calculate the drag or lift force on the droplet, can anyone help me here please? I searched the forum but couldn't find the answer (or did I miss it?), anyway I tried to add this code and it worked but as I understand, it is only using for patches (fix/solid boundaries?) and not for a moving droplet: forces { type forces; functionObjectLibs ( "libforces.so" ); outputControl timeStep; outputInterval 1; //patches ( "regions.*" ); patches ( atmosphere left right wall ); pName p; UName U; rhoName rhoInf; log true; rhoInf 1000; CofR (0.1 0.1 0); pitchAxis (0 1 0); } forcesCoeffs { type forceCoeffs; functionObjectLibs ( "libforces.so" ); outputControl timeStep; outputInterval 1; patches ( atmosphere left right wall ); pName p; UName U; rhoName rhoInf; log true; rhoInf 1000; liftDir (0 1 0); //2D dragDir (1 0 0); CofR (0.1 0.1 0); pitchAxis (0 1 0); magUInf 0.1; lRef 1; Aref 1; } So anyone have success with this job or have any idea please shed me a light? It would be really appreciated |
