Hi guys
I used the rheoFoam solver to solve the flow on a square cylinder and then calculated the stream functions using
Code:
postProcess -func streamFunction
However, the results are wrong as you can see:






So, I plotted only sai =0 streamline. As you can see in the picture the streamline sai = 0 is not straight! it came from the inlet patch and meets the cylinder surface on a vertex on of square! Then it goes around the cylinder and leaves the cylinder on the other vertex!



Actually, I don't know how to solve this problem!

Note: I checked this tool to find the stream function of flow over a circular cylinder.
