Description

The uniformJump is a general coupled boundary condition that provides a jump condition, using the cyclic condition as a base. The jump is specified as a time-varying uniform value across the patch.

Usage

The condition requires entries in both the boundary and field files.

Boundary file 

<patchName>
{
    type            patch;
    ...
}

Field file 

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            uniformJump;
    jumpTable       <Function1<Type>>;

    // Inherited entries
    patchType       cyclic;
    ...
}

where:

Property Description Type Required Default
type Type name: uniformJump word yes -
jumpTable Jump values Function1<Type> yes -

The inherited entries are elaborated in:

  • fixedJumpFvPatchField.H

  • Function1.H

  • The underlying patchType should be set to cyclic.
