Dear all:

I am modeling a tank 1mX1mX0.1m. Mesh size is 100 Horizontal X 600 Vertical. Water height is 0.4m. The wall pressure is calculated during the interDymFoam run and gives the following output (I am providing a sample here):

Question is:
Are these realistic pressures? and are they in Pascals?
The tank is being laterally displaced with Asin(t/T) where A=0.0145 and T=1.2. So the displacements are very small. So why are the pressures so high? I hope I am missing something here and some one will be kind enough to point out the error to me. Thanks!

Dear all:

I am modeling a tank LXHXb = 1mX1mX0.1m. My z=0 is at the fluid surface. I am running interdymfoam, sloshingtank2D.

Here is a sample output from the wall pressure:
X Y Z P
0.05 -0.4916 0 100096
-0.05 -0.4916 0 100096
0.05 -0.4916 -0.00166667 100106
-0.05 -0.4916 -0.00166667 100106
0.05 -0.4916 0.00166667 100086

Lets look at the last pressure value: P=100086. My pRefvalue=1e5. My static pressure is: 998.2*9.81*0.4=3916 kg/m^2

So my dynamic pressure=100086-100000-3916=-3830 ( a negative value!). What am I doing wrong here?
