Hi all;
I'm testing MRFSimpleFoam on a car with rotating wheels. I found 2 ways to achieve the rotation of the wheels so I would like to check that my results are the same in both the cases. From what I can see from the pressure and velocity fields in paraview they seem the same but I would like to be certain of that in a more "mathematical" way…

Can anybody please give me a suggestion on how to do that? For example it would be great to evaluate the difference in pressure between the two cases everywhere in my domain and then make sure that there numbers I'd get were close to 0 everywhere on my domain…

I would like to point out the the cases have the same geometry, mesh and boundary condition. I only used topoSet instead of setSet.

Thank you!
