How to calculate fluid drag forces on particles in OpenFoam Lagrangian solvers
 
Hello,

I am a relatively new user of OpenFoam, and am currently using the icoUncoupledKinematicParcelFoam solver to track dust particles through a pre-calculated fluid velocity field. I also want to calculate the fluid drag forces on each particle at every time step, but having quite a bit of trouble with implementing it. If anyone has an idea on how to do this, or has already done this before, I would really appreciate your input. Thank you!
