split the total drag on a ( Pressure drag +Frictional drag ).

Hi,

I am working on airfoil shape optimization, I need to split the total drag on a .( Pressure drag +Frictional drag ).
How can I separate each drag components from the OpenFoam?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Best Regards
Samira

The forces functionObject should do this for you (Pressure and viscous forces will be given separately)

Hi,

This seems to be a thread I have been looking for. Can anybody suggest how to calculate the viscous and pressure drag separately for flow over a cylinder?

I am simulating a 2D case in pisoFoam. I have copied the code to controlDict and run the case. In postProcessing/forceCoefficients, I get the drag coefficient for each deltaT whereas I need the viscous and pressure components. I understand it is possible to calculate these components using ParaView which I am not sure about.

I would be grateful to have your suggestions.

Thank you
