Hello everyone,

To work on suspension rheology, I use an homemade solver developed on the basis of icoFoam that was developped before me. So I had to take a closer look at what the solver was doing and I can't understand why the viscosity term is as follows:



Quote:
fvm::laplacian(nu, U)
If I understand the documentation correctly (https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...laplacian.html), it corresponds to this term:

\nabla . (\nu \nabla U)

I don't quite understand why the transpose of the U divergence of the deformation tensor is missing.


Thanks in advance
