Hi

I am trying to calculate terminal velocity for a ball(sphere) when dropped into a tank full of water.

I am using 3ddp, pressure based, dynamic mesh(smoothing and remeshing), laminar, transient solver.

I want to output CG and velocity of this sphere as it moves through the water. But I couldn't find any specific macro to do this in fluent.

Can someone please help me.

I know this is quite old, but if anyone is interested, I believe a UDF can easily output the DT_CG (dt)[x]
