BIRAJ is on a distinguished road
The following link suggests that the incompressible solver transforms static pressure to kinematic pressure.

https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...-pressure.html

What's the reason behind this? Why can't we use static pressure in an incompressible solver?

Hi Biraj,


Here is an older thread where you might find more information:

In what unit is pressure measured on OpenFOAM?


Cheers,
