Hi ghorrocks, my actual query ,is
i have modelled a simple water wave in a tank.
I need to know the hydrodynamic pressures in the wave field.
But i find that the dynamic pressures in fluent only gives
=0.5*rho*v^2

But this dynamic pressure as i understand is not the complete,
For instance, from linear wave theory, p=rho*d(phi)/dt= rho*omega*phii (amplitude). so this unsteady term is not accounted in fluent

So, I would like to know how i may retrieve this unsteady pressure ??
Can u throw some advice?
