rho Parameter

Submitted by Carlos Guamushig on Wed, 02/25/2015 - 21:01

Hi everybody,

I do not know the specific function of rho in 0 directory running solverpiso. Does it parameter affect the fluid properties? According to openfoam fluid properties the only feature which define a fluid is kinematic viscosity (nu) nu=mu/rho.

Best regards,

Carlos

Hi mate,

I am not specialized in fluid mechanics to answer exactly. But I know that rho is used to handle pressure field. Effective pressure=(physical pressure)/rho. See constant/couplingProperties file to track on it.

Thanks for your reply.

I will check that.
