Hello!
I have to simulate the wind on my computational domain (intensity 5.5 m/s at 10 m high and direction 140°).
Are the following commands right?

WIND = YES
WIND VELOCITY ALONG X = -3.5
WIND VELOCITY ALONG Y = 4.2

Because I tried so, and the results do not differ significantely from the previous without wind, so I am not sure.

Best regards

Hi
The keyword Coefficient of wind influence is missing.
The default value is 0. You should adapt this value

Thanks, I forgot it!

Hello,

Make sure that your value is around 1.E-6, because it includes a coefficient density(air)/density(water). The formulas in literature given a coefficient around 1.E-3, but without this coefficient, and one of our test cases also gives a coefficient around 1.E-3, but just to have rapidly a clear effect, we noticed it could be misleading...

Thanks, that is useful. I tried as said. Let's see..
