Hi Foamers,
a short question: if i use a halfmodel with a symmetryPlane cutting it, do i take the projected area of the full model or of the half model for the forces in controlDict? Thanks for your help ! Moritz |

Hi,
I think you are asking what area to use for the forceCoeffs calculation. In that case, take half the surface of the full body = the surface of the patch on which U calculate forces and force coefficients. |
