Hey all,

My prof asked me to write a UDF for a body force term and simulate it for a flow over a flate plate at a certain location of the domain.

This code doesnt seem to have any effect on the solution.

Here are the steps I followed:

1. Interpreted the UDF
2. Hooked the UDF in the cell zone conditions as X_Momentume Source term
3. Used SIMPLE method (I am not sure if this has something to do with the solution being the same, I am a noob in this field) and nearly 6000 iterations.

Here is the code

#include "udf.h"

#define CON 0.02

DEFINE_SOURCE(cell_x_source, cell, thread, dS, eqn)
{

real source;

real xc[ND_ND]; /* 3D position in array */

C_CENTROID(xc,cell,thread); /* outputs xc (cell centroid) */


if((xc[0] >0.1)&&(xc[0] < 0.105)&& (xc[1] > 0)&&(xc[1] < 0.001)) /*restriction of the body force*/
{
source=CON;
dS[eqn]=0;
}
else
{
source=0;
dS[eqn]=0;
}

return source;

}

AlexanderZ will become famous soon enoughAlexanderZ will become famous soon enough
code is correct,
check units in your model
what is the unit of value 0.02 you are applying?

The units are mN/m3.
