Hi everyone,
I'm a new user of Palabos and I am kinda lost with some of the terms and their meaning in the simulation, or how can they affect to it. I am doing the GeneralExternalFlow tutorial, since I'm interested in evaluating the flow around some bodies, like an sphere, or in the advanced case, an Ahmed Body.
The thing is that, when I use the parameters in the tutorial, everything works fine, but in the moment I change some values, the results I get are weird. So I will post here some doubts and I hope some of you could answer, and see if I can run a proper simulation.
These are just some of the questions I got, but I think that it could be really helpful if you can help me. Thank you so much
Best regards,
Alex

- [*] In what units it is supposed to be the density and the viscosity?
[*] The "pressure at infinity" is the gauge pressure?
[*] What does the "Iterations for the immersed boundary method" do?
[*] What is the Smagorinsky LES parameter?
[*] If I put a high inlet velocity, the "fluid" at the oulet seems like it bounces back, why does this happen?
These are just some of the questions I got, but I think that it could be really helpful if you can help me. Thank you so much
Best regards,
