Detailed Description

Includes tools to manipulate the pressure into different forms.

These currently include:

  • static pressure

    \[ p = \rho p_k \]

  • total pressure

    \[ p_0 = p_{ref} + p + 0.5 \rho |U|^2 \]

  • static pressure coefficient

    \[ Cp = \frac{p - p_{\inf}}{0.5 \rho_{\inf} |U_{\inf}|^2} \]

  • total pressure coefficient

    \[ Cp_0 = \frac{p_0 - p_{\inf}}{0.5 \rho_{\inf} |U_{\inf}|^2} \]

where

$ \rho $ = Density [kg/m^3]
$ U $ = Velocity [m/s]
$ \rho_{\inf} $ = Freestream density [kg/m^3]
$ p_{\inf} $ = Freestream pressure [Pa]
$ U_{\inf} $ = Freestream velocity [m/s]
$ p_k $ = Kinematic pressure (p/rho) [m^2/s^2]
$ p $ = Pressure [Pa]
$ p_0 $ = Total pressure [Pa]
$ p_{ref} $ = Reference pressure level [Pa]
$ Cp $ = Pressure coefficient
$ Cp_0 $ = Total pressure coefficient

The function object will operate on both kinematic ( $ p_k $) and static pressure ( $ p $) fields, and the result is written as a volScalarField.

The modes of operation are:

Mode calcTotal calcCoeff
Static pressure no no
Total pressure yes no
Pressure coefficient no yes
Total pressure coefficient yes yes

Example of function object specification to calculate pressure coefficient:

    pressure1
    {
        type        pressure;
        libs        ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
        ...
        calcTotal   no;
        calcCoeff   yes;
    }
Usage
Property Description Required Default value
type type name: pressure yes
field Name of the pressure field no p
U Name of the velocity field no U
rho Name of the density field no rho
result Name of the resulting field no derived from p
calcTotal Calculate total coefficient yes
pRef Reference pressure for total pressure no 0
calcCoeff Calculate pressure coefficient yes
pInf Freestream pressure for coefficient calculation no
UInf Freestream velocity for coefficient calculation no
rhoInf Freestream density for coefficient calculation no
