Hello,
I am facing a similar problem, and thanks to previous post from this topic I rewrote user_dragfo.f to have two areas: I am trying to model a turbine made of 2 rotors in T2D in a uniform flow with no friction at the bottom.
However, my wake often remains dysymmetric:
uniform 1[m] mesh: geo_dragforce_back1_rotor0d2
This dysymmetry/wake is (strongly) mesh dependant:
- using a coarser mesh we/I get something else:
uniform 5[m] mesh: geo_dragforce_back5_rotor0d2
- Or using boxes - instead of uniform but still with a 1m cell-size in area of interest, wake is no longer dysymmetric:
mesh with 1[m] box: geo_dragforce_back10_box1_rotor0d2
Stuff I already tried and made no difference:
(- rewrite dragfo with the two distincts rotors)
- use as constant Unorm=U_inf=5
- tried ks=30, make no diff
- tried another turbulence model: Smagorinsky made no difference (as expected)
- ...
Parameters I don't want to change:
- friction coefficient (because it aims to reproduce a 2D-CFD model)
I have attached the case here:

Any hints would be good :)
Have a nice day
