How to add user defined source to 2D axisymmetric coordinate system

    • Sky0101

      I've implemented a user defined SOURCE into a 2D planar case by DEFINE_SOURCE, and I want to implement it into another  2D axisymmetric case. The SOURCE contains DU/DX,DU/DY,DV/DX,DV/DY.


      My question is whether FLUENT convert a planar user defined SOUREC into a 2D axisymmetric automatically one or I need to convert it manually.

      Yes. But I recommend doing debugging here to be sure.

      Also check manual when it comes to the usage if volume access macro.

      Hi, Amine. 


      I'm not clear about what you mean"Yes".


      Did you mean I have to convert my 2D planar UDF into 2D axisymmetric format?

      I do not know what you do mean with "convert". The only thing IMHO is if you are suing C_VOLUME macro in the UDF you need to pay attention there. Anyway: do a debugging by storing everything in User Defined Memories and check for their plausibility.
