Hi
whats the definition of enstrophy?
It gives this error when I run it:
Code:
Time = 0.000126

  1. Run:
    Code:
    find $FOAM_APP -name "enstrophy.C"
  2. Open the file indicated by the previous command. In the description section it says:
    Code:
    Description
        Calculates and writes the enstrophy of the velocity field U.
  3. OK, not much information there. Looking at the the calculation made:
    Code:
    0.5*magSqr(fvc::curl(U))
    "curl" is explained in the OpenFOAM's Programmer Guide, available at "$WM_PROJECT_DIR/doc/Guides*":
    Code:
    echo $WM_PROJECT_DIR/doc/Guides*
  4. For "enstrophy" in general, check Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enstrophy
