Hi everyone,
I’m a beginner fluent udf user, and i’ve a problem with my code.
I just want to create a simple force on a blade.
That’s my udf :

DEFINE_SOURCE(down_x,c,t,dS,eqn) /*create my Xmomentum force*/
{
real source, angle;
source=9188.84192;
dS[eqn]=0;
return source;
}

DEFINE_SOURCE(down_y,c,t,dS,eqn) /*create my Ymomentum force*/
{
real source, angle;
source=5305.16475;
dS[eqn]=0;
return source;
}

I obtain the picure 1. So it’s ok because it’s was i expected.
But now, if i put this udf :

DEFINE_SOURCE(down_x,c,t,dS,eqn) /*create my Xmomentum force*/
{
real source, angle;
source=10610.3295*0,866025404;
dS[eqn]=0;
return source;
}

DEFINE_SOURCE(down_y,c,t,dS,eqn) /*create my Ymomentum force*/
{
real source, angle;
source=10610.3295*0.5;
dS[eqn]=0;
return source;
}

I obtain the picture 2, which is very different from the picture 1.
But I don’t understand why, because the source term in the both udf are the same (10610.3295*0,866025404=9188.84192 and 5305.16475=10610.3295*0.5)

Anyone have an idea on this problem ?

Thanks you

Jerome

Nb :I work with the k-epsilon model.

Hi,

The problem is in your new "down_x" source-macro. Here you have written
source = 10610.3295*0,866025404; while it should read
source = 10610.3295*0.866025404;

Note the difference between "," and "." .

Good luck!

You have right, that's work.

Thanks a lot
