plotting skin friction coefficient
Hi all, I am solving flow past cylinder in icoFoam. I want to plot skin friction coefficient along the cylinder surface. Can anyone suggest how to proceed? I have run wallShearStress utility after the completing the simulation. Thanks & regards Subhankar

Hey,
After running the wallShearStress utility, load the wall patches (except the internalField) and use the calculator filter on it.Use the following formula:
skin friction coefficient = (2*tauw/(rho*V^2))
