I wrote following UDF to acquire pressure integration value of one flat boundary. However, the pressure integration function build in FLUENT gives me a totally different answer. Are there any problem in my code?
#include "udf.h"
#define rvol1_ID 22
DEFINE_EXECUTE_AT_END(pressureudf)
{
FILE *fp1;
real time1=CURRENT_TIME;
Domain *d;
Thread *thread;
face_t f;
double A[ND_ND];
double pressure=0.;
d= Get_Domain(1);
thread=Lookup_Thread(d, rvol1_ID);
begin_f_loop(f,thread)
{
F_AREA(A,f,thread);
pressure+=F_P(f,thread)*NV_MAG(A);
}
end_f_loop(f,thread)
fp1=fopen("pressure223.txt","a");
fprintf(fp1,"%g %g\n",time1,pressure);
fclose(fp1);

}

The units of your variable 'pressure' is N (a force). Ensure your units are what you expect and whether or not gauge/dynamic/static pressure is used. For details on how Fluent treats pressure, have a read of this post.

It is very weird that the problem is at fprintf(fp1,"%g %g\n",time1,pressure); which cannot show a correct answer. When I adjust the distance between time1 and pressure, it works and gives the same answer as FLUENT integral function.
