Hi,
I simulated a simple case of flow past flat plate using simpleFoam 2D. Re is 100 It starts with slip BC 1st before encountering the flat plate wall. I enabled the calculation of wall shear stress too. However, the results on Paraview shows that the wall shear stress x is negative. May I know why this is so? Shouldn't it be positive? There's no flow separation. I have attached a figure |
