Can I alter the field static pressure using UDF?

anuarun · November 21, 2018, 06:39

Hello all,
I know that C_P(cell, thread) will call the local static pressure variable into the UDF for each cell. Is there any way by which I can alter the local static pressure? Something like a macro. For example, If I want to introduce a pressure correction in momentum equation, is there a way to do that with or without UDF?

Hi Anuarun,

Not really, not in Fluent. The Fluent solver is continually trying to get pressure and velocity to match, so it will fight against any unexplained variation to pressure. I think if you want to explore the details of solver numerics, OpenFOAM might be a better option.

Good luck!
