Force calculation using rhoPimpleFoam

Hi,
I'm comparing forces calculated with rhoPimpleFoam and pimpleFoam using "libforces.so": forces { type forces; functionObjectLibs ( "libforces.so" ); writeControl timeStep; writeInterval 1; patches ( "my_wall.*" ); pName p; UName U; rhoName rho; //rhoInf for pimpleFoam pRef 0; log true; CofR ( 0 0 0 ); } The forces are getting about 30 times higher in rhoPimpleFoam then for pimpleFoam. I know from measurements that the force calculated by pimpleFoam is realistic. My Mach number is far below 1 so I expected the same results. Anyone experienced this and maybe solved?!? |
