Hi,

I created a tangential source term by an udf for a axissymmetric swirl, and the quality of the streamfield is what I expected, but the the quantity of velocity is much to high. The Units of the source term i already checked... and now I have no idea what to do, is it nessescary to implement the Volumes of the cells, or weigth in the udf.... because i dont know how exact fluent handles with the source term in the momentum equations?

If anybody knows something about that ... please tell me.

Regards, Christian.

The source terms are normally related to 1m³ -> unit should be kg/m³s for the mass for example.

A source term has to be referred to the unit volume (1 m^3) and is added or subtracted (it depends on its sign) to the standard equation implemented by FLUENT.
