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 of time. Member function movingForces::write() calculates the forces/moments and writes the forces/moments into the file \/movingForces.dat and bin data (if selected) to the file \/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 | 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.\ 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 See also Foam::functionObject Foam::functionObjects::forcesBase Foam::functionObjects::fvMeshFunctionObject Foam::functionObjects::logFiles Foam::functionObjects::timeControl Foam::Function1 SourceFiles movingForces.C \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ #ifndef movingForces_functionObject_H #define movingForces_functionObject_H #include "forcesBase.H" #include "Function1.H" // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // namespace Foam { namespace functionObjects { /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*\ Class movingForces Declaration \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ class movingForces : public forcesBase { protected: // Protected data //- Centre of rotation autoPtr> CofR_; // Protected Member Functions //- Return the current centre of the rigid body virtual vector CofR() const; public: //- Runtime type information TypeName("movingForces"); // Constructors //- Construct from Time and dictionary movingForces ( const word& name, const Time& runTime, const dictionary& dict ); //- Construct from objectRegistry and dictionary movingForces ( const word& name, const objectRegistry& obr, const dictionary& ); //- Disallow default bitwise copy construction movingForces(const movingForces&) = delete; //- Destructor virtual ~movingForces(); // Member Functions //- Read the forces data virtual bool read(const dictionary&); // Member Operators //- Disallow default bitwise assignment void operator=(const movingForces&) = delete; }; // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // } // End namespace functionObjects } // End namespace Foam // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // #endif // ************************************************************************* //
