Class
Foam::variableHeightFlowRateFvPatchScalarField
Group
grpInletBoundaryConditions
Description
This boundary condition provides a phase fraction condition based on the
local flow conditions, whereby the values are constrained to lay between
user-specified upper and lower bounds. The behaviour is described by:
if alpha > upperBound:
- apply a fixed value condition, with a uniform level of the upper bound
if lower bound <= alpha <= upper bound:
- apply a zero-gradient condition
if alpha < lowerBound:
- apply a fixed value condition, with a uniform level of the lower bound
Usage
\table
Property | Description | Required | Default value
phi | flux field name | no | phi
lowerBound | lower bound for clipping | yes |
upperBound | upper bound for clipping | yes |
\endtable
Example of the boundary condition specification:
\verbatim
{
type variableHeightFlowRate;
lowerBound 0.0;
upperBound 0.9;
value uniform 0;
}
\endverbatim
