Class Foam::flowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField Group grpInletBoundaryConditions Description Velocity inlet boundary condition either correcting the extrapolated velocity or creating a uniform velocity field normal to the patch adjusted to match the specified flow rate For a mass-based flux: - the flow rate should be provided in kg/s - if \c rho is "none" the flow rate is in m3/s - otherwise \c rho should correspond to the name of the density field - if the density field cannot be found in the database, the user must specify the inlet density using the \c rhoInlet entry For a volumetric-based flux: - the flow rate is in m3/s Usage \table Property | Description | Required | Default value massFlowRate | mass flow rate [kg/s] | no | volumetricFlowRate | volumetric flow rate [m3/s]| no | rho | density field name | no | rho rhoInlet | inlet density | no | extrapolateProfile | Extrapolate velocity profile | no | false \endtable Example of the boundary condition specification for a volumetric flow rate: \verbatim { type flowRateInletVelocity; volumetricFlowRate 0.2; extrapolateProfile yes; value uniform (0 0 0); } \endverbatim Example of the boundary condition specification for a mass flow rate: \verbatim { type flowRateInletVelocity; massFlowRate 0.2; extrapolateProfile yes; rho rho; rhoInlet 1.0; value uniform (0 0 0); } \endverbatim The \c flowRate entry is a \c Function1 of time, see Foam::Function1Types. Note - \c rhoInlet is required for the case of a mass flow rate, where the density field is not available at start-up - The value is positive into the domain (as an inlet) - May not work correctly for transonic inlets - Strange behaviour with potentialFoam since the U equation is not solved See also Foam::fixedValueFvPatchField Foam::Function1Types Foam::flowRateOutletVelocityFvPatchVectorField SourceFiles flowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField.C \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ #ifndef flowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField_H #define flowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField_H #include "fixedValueFvPatchFields.H" #include "Function1.H" // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // namespace Foam { /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*\ Class flowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField Declaration \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ class flowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField : public fixedValueFvPatchVectorField { // Private Data //- Inlet integral flow rate autoPtr> flowRate_; //- Name of the density field used to normalize the mass flux word rhoName_; //- Rho initialisation value (for start; if value not supplied) scalar rhoInlet_; //- Is volumetric? bool volumetric_; //- Set true to extrapolate the velocity profile from the interior Switch extrapolateProfile_; // Private Member Functions //- Update the patch values given the appropriate density type and value template void updateValues(const RhoType& rho); public: //- Runtime type information TypeName("flowRateInletVelocity"); // Constructors //- Construct from patch and internal field flowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField ( const fvPatch&, const DimensionedField& ); //- Construct from patch, internal field and dictionary flowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField ( const fvPatch&, const DimensionedField&, const dictionary& ); //- Construct by mapping given // flowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField // onto a new patch flowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField ( const flowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField&, const fvPatch&, const DimensionedField&, const fvPatchFieldMapper& ); //- Construct as copy flowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField ( const flowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField& ); //- Construct as copy setting internal field reference flowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField ( const flowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField&, const DimensionedField& ); //- Return a clone virtual tmp> clone() const { return fvPatchField::Clone(*this); } //- Clone with an internal field reference virtual tmp> clone ( const DimensionedField& iF ) const { return fvPatchField::Clone(*this, iF); } // Member Functions //- Update the coefficients associated with the patch field virtual void updateCoeffs(); //- Write virtual void write(Ostream&) const; }; // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // } // End namespace Foam // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // #endif // ************************************************************************* //
