Dear community,

I've read the fluent documentation without finding out the way fluent computes the hydrodynamic forces and moments. I've just understand that it use both pressure and viscous contribute. I would like to know the exact equations for both forces and moments. 

 

Many thanks

Hi,

I suggest you to check fluent theory guide where it has mentioned how the forces and moment is calculated: 26.2.1. Computing Forces, Moments, and the Center of Pressure (ansys.com)

Hope this helps.
