Hi everyone,

I’m trying to calculate the Hemolysis Index using a User Defined Scalar in Fluent with the following source term in the fluid field:

(3.62e-5)^(1/0.785) * (StrainRateMag * Viscosity - Lam)^(2.416/0.785)

I’m getting a unit mismatch error. Does anyone know the correct way to define this source term or an alternative method to compute the Hemolysis Index?
