Centrifugal Force and Coriolis Force

Post by mortbauer »

I just assumed until now that the centrifugal force term and coriolis force term are added to the momentum equation if i specify a coriolis source term in the gui, but i'm not so sure anymore.

Can you please clarify if these two terms are added, and maybe also point me to the piece of source code where they are added.

Thanks alot!

Hello,

When selecting coriolis (centrifugal) forces in the CS GUI they are taken into account by the simulation.

Best regards,
