Boundary mesh type🔗

Wall conditions are specified using the wall type entry in the $FOAM_CASE/constant/polyMesh/boundary file:

patchName
{
    type            wall;
    ...
}

Velocity🔗

Available wall conditions include

• No slip
• Translating wall velocity
• Moving wall velocity

Temperature🔗

• adiabatic: see zero gradient
• fixed temperature: see fixed value
• fixed heat flux: see fixed gradient
