Calculating source term in selected cells

ggoggodak85 · April 30, 2012, 06:18

I'm trying to calculate coriolis and centrifugal force as source term in SimpleFoam.

when I run wmake, it works!

But coriolis and centrifugal force is applied to all cells.

How can I calculate source term for selected cells?
I already have cellzones and zone name.

I'm waiting for good advice.

Regards

Hi,

can you please tell me how you implemented Coriolis force and the centrifugal force as source terms?

You can define your source term by using fvOption. The source term is then switched on in a given cell set.
