Class
Foam::swirlFanVelocityFvPatchField
Group
grpCoupledBoundaryConditions
Description
This boundary condition provides a jump condition for \c U across a
cyclic pressure jump condition and applies a transformation to \c U.
The U-jump is specified with a swirl component as follows:
\verbatim
Utan = deltaP/rEff/fanEff/(rpm*pi/30.0);
where
deltaP : pressure drop across the cyclic.
rEff : effective radius
fanEff : fan efficiency coefficient
rpm : RPM of the fan
\endverbatim
Alternatively an inner and outer radii can be used instead of \c rEff.
The \c Utan is as follow for \c r > \c rInner and \c r < \c rOuter
\verbatim
Utan = deltaP/r/fanEff/(rpm/pi/30.0);
where
r : p - origin, p is the face center
\endverbatim
Outside \c rInner and \c rOuter, \c Utan=0. The input for this mode is:
\verbatim
useRealRadius true;
rInner 0.005;
rOuter 0.01;
\endverbatim
The radial velocity is zero in the present model.
Usage
Example of the boundary condition specification:
\verbatim
{
// Mandatory entries
type swirlFanVelocity;
patchType cyclic;
rpm ;
// Optional entries
phi ;
p ;
rho ;
origin ;
fanEff ;
rEff ;
rInner ;
rOuter ;
useRealRadius ;
// Inherited entries
...
}
\endverbatim
where the entries mean:
\table
Property | Description | Type | Reqd | Deflt
type | Type name: swirlFanVelocity | word | yes | -
patchType | Underlying patch type: cyclic | word | yes | -
rpm | RPM of the fan | Function1\ | yes | -
phi | Name of flux field | word | no | phi
rho | Name of density field | word | no | rho
p | Name of pressure field | word | no | p
origin | Fan centre | vector | no | calculated
fanEff | Fan efficiency | scalar | no | 1
rEff | Effective radius | scalar | no | 0
rInner | Inner radius | scalar | no | 0
rOuter | Outer radius | scalar | no | 0
useRealRadius| Flag to use inner/outer radii | bool | no | false
\endtable
The inherited entries are elaborated in:
- \link fixedJumpFvPatchField.H \endlink
- \link Function1.H \endlink
Note
- Negative \c rpm will reverse the input tangential direction.
- This boundary condition needs to be used with a pressure-jump (e.g. fan)
condition with a non-zero dp, otherwise no swirl will be applied (dp=0).
- Please ensure physical and complementary set-ups for the pressure-jump
and \c swirlFanVelocity boundary conditions.
