Hello all,
im trying to calculate some cases from fluent, to evaluate the results of OpenFOAM. The cases consist of a wing (2D) in a flow and Im interested in the forces in X and Y-direction. So I changed the liftDrag-tool to print the vectors from the pressure-, visous- and turbulenceforce. With this vectors, I hoped to get more or less the same results than from fluent. In fact they are not, the forces are much to low. I filled in the right value of nue, because liftDrag is working with it. So, does anybody have a clue where could be the problem? And a second question, I raed in the forum, that calculating incompressible means to compute p* but not p. To get the real pressure I have to multiply p* with rho. But if p* isnt p, is the function pressureForce = sum ( p.boundaryField()[patchLabel] *mesh.Sf().boundaryField()[patchLabel] ); in liftDrag correct? Because p in this case is p* as far as I can see. thx in advance |
