Hi everybody,

I'm a beginner user of OpenFOAM.
I need to compute the total pressure drop in a pipe but I can't do it.

Till now I have followed some examples found on this forum (http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post430031) but the total pressure on the outlet patch is always zero.

Can anyone suggest me a procedure to follow please? Give me examples?
Can be enogh using the function objects or should I use swak4Foam?

Thanks in advance,

Alessandro
