fatal error

When I tried to energy minimization my system, I got fatal error as below. Fatal error: Atomtype opls_116 not found Although I've already added this line: ; include water #include "oplsaa.ff/spc.itp" to [molecultype] directive in my topology.

Why are the velocities so high in my Boussinesq approximation Fluent simulation?

Hello, I have a mechanism where air rises due to convective flows. In this simulation, nothing is driving the air except this. I understand that the Boussinesq approximation only works for small...

Check my answer in the link.

For hemisphere with the half sphere facing the upstream, according to Newton theory would give the same drag coefficient as full sphere. Newton theory is valid after Mach 8

thanks and what about quarter sphere ?????

Since, sphere is symmetric about centre and and we integrate Pstatic*(small projected area component). Therefore for quarter it should be half of total sphere.
