Determining Thrust & Torque for propeller tutorial
 

Hi I am working on the propeller tutorial.

I have finish running the solver (pimpleDymFoam) on the tutorial and i would like to determine the thrust and torque for the propeller.

Any help will be appreciated!

use the forces output function in controlDict (documentation: https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...es-forces.html)


It will output an x, y, and z force as well as moment. Find the axial co-ordinate direction and it's force will be your thrust, and it's moment will be your torque
