Summary0002295: Documentation of pressure referencing refers to p_rghRefValue and p_rghRefCell, which are not used
DescriptionIn section 4.5.4 Pressure referencing

"In a closed incompressible system, pressure is relative: it is the pressure range that matters not the absolute values. In these cases, the solver sets a reference level of pRefValue in cell pRefCell where p is the name of the pressure solution variable. Where the pressure is p_rgh, the names are p_rhgRefValue and p_rhgRefCell respectively."

It is pRefValue and pRefCell in all cases. p_rghRefX is not in the code.

Additional InformationAlthough succinct, this might suffice:

"In a closed incompressible system, pressure is relative: it is the pressure range that matters not the absolute values. In these cases, the solver sets a reference level of pRefValue in cell pRefCell."

The documentation has been corrected online:
http://cfd.direct/openfoam/user-guide/fvsolution
... but it will take a few hours for the cache to clear to see the update.

The correction will also appear in future updates of PDF versions.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
