sanket2309 is on a distinguished road
1)I want to calculate net force due to pressure across body. I am using force variable in x direction for that. From basic understanding, F = P1A1 - P2A2 , my question is, In FLUENT , in above equation, whether it will consider P1 and P2 as gauge or absolute values ?

Absolute Pressure = Operating + Gauge pressure

If my P1 and P2 are negative, then there are chances of blunder because force is vector quantity (direction also matters).

2)In CFD post, pressure contours we are getting are gauge or they are absolute (operating +gauge)?

Thank you.
