Default Spray angle input bug

Hi,
There seems to be a potential bug in the way the input of the spray angle is being treated.

I encountered a situation wherein I get a completely different result based on the way I input my spray angle. The results differ, (I used the smd as a parameter of comparison) when the spray angle is passed through the default mode using spray.in and when the spray angle is passed using the user_injector_custom UDF.

I would really appreciate any help in addressing this issue.
Thanks,
Sampath

Hi Sampath,

The user_inject_custom UDF should take care of the fact, that the spray angle calculated is in radians and not in degrees.

Though cone_noz in spray.in is in degrees, the solver internally converts that to radians as needed to evaluate any C trigonometric function.

Thanks
Saurav
