Class Foam::turbulentInletFvPatchField Group grpInletBoundaryConditions Description This boundary condition produces spatiotemporal-variant field by summing a set of pseudo-random numbers and a given spatiotemporal-invariant mean field. The field can be any type, e.g. scalarField. At a single point and time, all components are summed by the same random number, e.g. velocity components (u, v, w) are summed by the same random number, p; thus, output is (u+p, v+p, w+p). The pseudo-random number generator obeys the probability density function of the uniform distribution constrained by the range [0:1]. The seed for the random number generator is hard-coded; therefore, it will produce the same sequence of random numbers at every execution. \f[ x_p = (1 - \alpha) x_p^{n - 1} + \alpha (x_{ref} + c s R |x_{ref}|) \f] where \vartable x_p | patch field x_{ref} | spatiotemporal-invariant patch scalar n | time level \alpha | a scalar attempting to build two-temporal-point correlations by heuristically adding a fraction of the new random component to the previous time patch field c | a heuristic automatically calculated correction term to compensate energy level losses due to the alpha scalar R | pseudo-random number [HARD-CODED seed] s | fluctuation scale (proportional to the xRef) \endvartable Usage \table Property | Description | Required | Default value fluctuationScale | RMS fluctuation scale (fraction of mean) | yes | referenceField | reference (mean) field | yes | alpha | fraction of new random component added to previous | no | 0.1 \endtable Example of the boundary condition specification: \verbatim { // Mandatory entries type turbulentInlet; fluctuationScale 0.1; // the term `s` above referenceField uniform 10; // the term `xRef` above // Optional entries alpha 0.1; // the term `alpha` above } \endverbatim Note This boundary condition should not be used for DES or LES computations as a turbulent velocity inflow condition, because the BC will not produce turbulence-alike time-series, and will decay almost immediately downstream of the inlet boundary although its historical name suggests the opposite. Nevertheless, the BC may be still used for other applications, e.g. as a uniform-random noise source in aeroacoustics.
