Hi Guys,

can someone explane me what the virtual mass model exactly represents?

In the UserGuide it is formulated by
F_vm = C*Rho*V_p*[(Dv/Dt)-(dv_p/dt)]

Is it something like the uplift... But I am not sure about it...

Edit: Solved.. Thos Force is caused by the accelaration of the displaced Volume
emonome and soheil_r7 like this.
