Hi Alejandro,rnrnthe way it is implemented, lattice units are used. In the example for the computation of the force also lattice units are used (getLatticeNu()).rnIf you want to implement gravity, you can do this analogously to the poiseuille-forced-2d example and convert the force in physical units to lattice units byrnconverter.latticeForce(value)rnFor more information have a look at the doxygen:rnhttp://optilb.com/DoxyGen/html/d1/d25/classolb_1_1LBconverter.html#a842f574807fc0592fd9deea0ad272fc0rnrnBest regardsrnRobin
