Hello everyone,
I am simulating a 2D airfoil and calculating lift and drag coefficients using forcecoeffs in openFoam. To do so I think openfoam needs pressure data at each time step, therefore if I do the simulation in parallel can I still calculate the lift and drag coeffs considering that pressure data is not available and is distributed between the processors? Thank you. |

forceCoeffs is parallelised. If you execute the application that runs this function object using the -parallel switch, it will have all the data required.
