Hello,
using the reactingParcelFilmFoam solver I want to get the drag-coefficient. The Simulation with the wallFilm looks fine. So I added in the controllDict:

Code:
functions
{
    forceCoeffs
    {
        type                forceCoeffs;
        functionObjectLibs  ( "libforces.so" );
        outputControl       timeStep;
        outputInterval      1;
        patches             ( "region0.*" );
        pName               p;
        UName               U;
        rhoName             rhoInf;
        log                 true;
         
        liftDir             (0 0 1);
        dragDir             (1 0 0);
        CofR                (0 0 0);
        pitchAxis           (0 1 0);
         
        magUInf             8.33;
        rhoInf              1.293;
        lRef                0.11;
        Aref                0.006;
    }
}
But now I get a really low coefficient:
Code:
forceCoeffs forceCoeffs write:
Cm    = 3.404335275e-301
Cd    = 3.540432496e-301
Cl    = 9.554970317e-303
Cl(f) = 3.452110126e-301
Cl(r) = -3.356560423e-301
the dragDir is correct...

Does anybody know whats the problem here?
