How can i calculate drag on an Angled area?
Hi,
Please consider an area inclined at an angle θ to the flow direction, How can I calculate drag force for this condition in FLUENT? http://uupload.ir/files/3m6_ffffffffffffffff.png I want to calculate drag force at special angle on a sphere . There are some grooves on the sphere and these groove have a special angle on the sphere. In other words, I want to calculate drag force on the these grooves. How can I do it in Fluent? http://uupload.ir/files/yc4m_rrrrrrr...rrrrrrrrrr.png Thanks. |
You could use the drag monitor and specify the force vector with your angle, where the default is (1,0,0) which corresponds to the x-direction.

Thanks but how can I provide x,y,z coordinates in Fluent? Please see y-z coordinate in second picture and the following picture. Therefore, direction vector is as follows (Direction of flow is in direction (or parallel) of grooves): http://uupload.ir/files/ywue_rrrrrrr...rrr_-_copy.png y----> -cos theta z----> -sin theta x---->0 theta=angle Is it OK? |
If drag is a force acting opposite to the motion of Fluid, therfore, I should change direction vector as follows:
y----->+cos theta z----->+sin theta .....Is it correct? |
In fact, Firstly, i select my surface, then, I change the direction vector .
