Hello all,
currently I want to add a force for the implemented lagrangian particles for the kinematicCloud based on the particles electrical charge and an electric field.
I want to add a new force in
/src/lagrangian/intermediate/submodels/Kinematic/ParticleForces
and use it through swak4foam.
Could anyone tell me if this is a good way to do it or are there some other/better means of implementation.

And as I am already on the topic: I think there is an error in the code in
src/lagrangian/intermediate/submodels/Kinematic/ParticleForces/forceSuSp/forceSuSp.H
It says

        // Friend operators

            //- Addition
            friend inline forceSuSp operator*
            (
                const forceSuSp& susp1,
                const forceSuSp& susp2
            );

            //- Multiplication
            friend inline forceSuSp operator*
            (
                const scalar s,
                const forceSuSp& susp
            );

instead of

        // Friend operators

            //- Addition
            friend inline forceSuSp operator+
            (
                const forceSuSp& susp1,
                const forceSuSp& susp2
            );

            //- Multiplication
            friend inline forceSuSp operator*
            (
                const scalar s,
                const forceSuSp& susp
            );

In the corresponding file forceSuSpI.H it is correct.



Thanks in advance!

Hey Kabra,

I have no experience with swak4foam, but I recently added a new Particle Force to the lagrangian particles. Maybe my thread could already help you:

Following the linked OFWiki was a big help for me.

Hey

Have you find out how to implement the electric field force in OpenFOAM? I am doing a project which need the information.

Thanks

Not sure if these are the perfect examples of what is asked here, but worth take a look:
