Dear all,

The difference in Buoyancy forces switched on or off have a major influence on the forces in my bouyancy direction of my model. For that reason I modelled a simple isothermal, single phase 2D cylinder flow, but still the buoyancy has a major influence. When switched off I get a drag force of -0.33N and when switched on I get a drag force of 0.70N.

Epecially the negative drag force is very weird, anyone an explanation?
