Default loss in force

I calculated for test-purposes a very simple 2d-problem: a channel with length l and symmetry, velocity-inlet and an outflow. I used the standard-wall-model and k-eps. The y+ are between 150 and 300 and ok. Now the problem: If I take the shear-force at a part of the wall (the flow is developed) I get 3.3 (dimensionless) The other way would be to calculate it by hand:

F_res=rho*c1**2-rho*c2**2+p1*A1-p2*A2

with c1=c2 and A1=A2, I get: F_res=A*(p1-p2)

If I sum up the area-weighted pressure at the positions 1 and 2 I only get 2.6 as the resulting force. It seems, I lost about 0.7..where are they ?

(1). Check the equation first, where did you get this equation?

ok. error in the equation, sorry. It should be rho*ci**2*Ai (!!), and if I sum it up in the correct integral (!) form, i get the correct result...

(1). Congratulation! (2). I wasn't so sure when I answered your question. So, You should say, you found your own errors.
