Class Foam::outletPhaseMeanVelocityFvPatchVectorField Group grpOutletBoundaryConditions Description This boundary condition adjusts the velocity for the given phase to achieve the specified mean thus causing the phase-fraction to adjust according to the mass flow rate. Typical usage is as the outlet condition for a towing-tank ship simulation to maintain the outlet water level at the level as the inlet. Usage \table Property | Description | Required | Default value Umean | mean velocity normal to the boundary [m/s] | yes | alpha | phase-fraction field | yes | \endtable Example of the boundary condition specification: \verbatim { type outletPhaseMeanVelocity; Umean 1.2; alpha alpha.water; value uniform (1.2 0 0); } \endverbatim See also Foam::mixedFvPatchField Foam::variableHeightFlowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField SourceFiles outletPhaseMeanVelocityFvPatchVectorField.C \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ #ifndef outletPhaseMeanVelocityFvPatchVectorField_H #define outletPhaseMeanVelocityFvPatchVectorField_H #include "mixedFvPatchFields.H" // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // namespace Foam { /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*\ Class outletPhaseMeanVelocityFvPatchVectorField Declaration \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ class outletPhaseMeanVelocityFvPatchVectorField : public mixedFvPatchVectorField { // Private data //- Inlet integral flow rate scalar Umean_; //- Name of the phase-fraction field word alphaName_; public: //- Runtime type information TypeName("outletPhaseMeanVelocity"); // Constructors //- Construct from patch and internal field outletPhaseMeanVelocityFvPatchVectorField ( const fvPatch&, const DimensionedField& ); //- Construct from patch, internal field and dictionary outletPhaseMeanVelocityFvPatchVectorField ( const fvPatch&, const DimensionedField&, const dictionary& ); //- Construct by mapping given // outletPhaseMeanVelocityFvPatchVectorField // onto a new patch outletPhaseMeanVelocityFvPatchVectorField ( const outletPhaseMeanVelocityFvPatchVectorField&, const fvPatch&, const DimensionedField&, const fvPatchFieldMapper& ); //- Construct as copy outletPhaseMeanVelocityFvPatchVectorField ( const outletPhaseMeanVelocityFvPatchVectorField& ); //- Construct as copy setting internal field reference outletPhaseMeanVelocityFvPatchVectorField ( const outletPhaseMeanVelocityFvPatchVectorField&, 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 // Access //- Return the flux scalar Umean() const { return Umean_; } //- Return reference to the flux to allow adjustment scalar& Umean() { return Umean_; } //- Update the coefficients associated with the patch field virtual void updateCoeffs(); //- Write virtual void write(Ostream&) const; }; // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // } // End namespace Foam // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // #endif // ************************************************************************* //
