I am doing a simulation using the Vortex in Cell method and the immersed boundary method using a FEM approach along with SOR , I have calculated the Velocity, Vorticity and drag forces successfully.
the photos are at time step =5 sec The specifications of my simulation are: Ly = 48.0 xgrid=384 Ly = 16.0 ygrid=128 Re=100 kinmatic viscosity 1/Re inflow velocity U=1.0 Cylinder diameter D=1.0 The problem that I am facing is whenever I try to calculate the Lift and Drag forces they become 0 in less than 2 seconds of the flow. I cannot understand why. does anyone have a suggestion to solve this? |
