I would like to add a volumetric body force term (F) to compressibleInterFoam. Is it done by just adding F to UEqn in UEqn.H file? Like this:

Code:
    fvVectorMatrix UEqn
    (
        fvm::ddt(rho, U)
      + fvm::div(rhoPhi, U)
      + turbulence->divDevRhoReff(U)
      - F
    );

    UEqn.relax();

    if (pimple.momentumPredictor())
    {
        solve
        (
            UEqn
         ==
            fvc::reconstruct
            (
                (
                    interface.surfaceTensionForce()
                  - ghf*fvc::snGrad(rho)
                  - fvc::snGrad(p_rgh)
                ) * mesh.magSf()
            )
        );

        K = 0.5*magSqr(U);
    }

Of course, I have already defined and calculated F. The issue is just including it in momentum equation.
