Hi everybody, I'm running simulations of particles inside water and I'm having problems to specify the system properties.
I know that the keyword convertToMeters in blockMeschDict specify the units in wich the vertices are listed. But defines also the units in wich the rest of the system properties must be specified? I mean the units in which rho, viscosity, etc. must be specified.
I could see that kind of difference on the values of rho and the viscosity in the examples ErgunTestMpi and ErgunTestMpi_cgs.

Regards,
Mauro Baldini

Hi,

I think convertToMeters just functioning as scalar of geometry of system, not effects on properties of phase (fluid...). Rho, velocity and other parameters of materials are not related to geometrical term.
