Hi all,

I know that there has been a lot of discussion on this subject, but I still miss the following for the flow (2D, laminar) past cylinder (circular, square):

• lRef - is this the diameter (D=2R) and side (a) for circular and square cylinder?
• Aref - is this the lRef*dz, where dz is the length in z-direction?
• rhoInf - this is the reference (free stream) density. For SimpleFoam this value should be 1?
• magUInf - this is magnitude of free stream velocity. For the flow past cylnder in a BOUNDED channel this means an average velocity?

Last but not least, is the "libforces.so" library universal - by that I mean that it can be applied to Newtonian and non-Newtonian (i.e. Power law) fluids within the SimpleFoam?

Thanks in advance,
Primoz.
