Class
Foam::functionObjects::movingForces
Description
Calculates the forces and moments by integrating the pressure and
skin-friction forces over a given list of patches of a moving object.
The centre of rotation (CofR) of the moving object is specified as a
Foam::Function1<vector> of time.
Member function movingForces::write() calculates the forces/moments and
writes the forces/moments into the file \<timeDir\>/movingForces.dat and bin
data (if selected) to the file \<timeDir\>/movingForces_bin.dat
Example of function object specification:
\verbatim
movingForces1
{
type movingForces;
libs ("libforces.so");
log yes;
patches (walls);
CofR
{
type sine;
amplitude (0 0.025 0);
frequency 1;
start 0;
level (0 0 0);
}
}
\endverbatim
Usage
\table
Property | Description | Required | Default value
type | Type name: movingForces | yes |
log | Write force data to standard output | no | no
patches | Patches included in the forces calculation | yes |
p | Pressure field name | no | p
U | Velocity field name | no | U
rho | Density field name (see below) | no | rho
phase | Phase name for phase-fraction | no |
CofR | Centre of rotation Foam::Function1<vector> | yes |
directForceDensity | Force density supplied directly (see below)|no|no
fD | Name of force density field (see below) | no | fD
\endtable
Bin data is optional, but if the dictionary is present, the entries must
be defined according o
\table
nBin | number of data bins | yes |
direction | direction along which bins are defined | yes |
cumulative | bin data accumulated with increasing distance | yes |
\endtable
Note
- For incompressible cases, set \c rho to \c rhoInf and provide
a \c rhoInf value corresponding to the free-stream constant density.
- If the \c phase name is specified the corresponding phase-fraction field
\c alpha.\<phase\> is used to filter the surface force field
before integration.
- If the force density is supplied directly, set the \c directForceDensity
flag to 'yes', and supply the force density field using the \c
fDName entry
