Description🔗

The pressureDirectedInletVelocity is a velocity boundary condition that calculates inflow velocity from the flux with the specified inlet direction.

Usage🔗

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

Boundary file🔗

<patchName>
{
    type            patch;
    ...
}

Field file🔗

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type                pressureDirectedInletVelocity;
    inletDirection      <vectorField>;

    // Optional entries
    rho                 <word>;
    phi                 <word>;

    // Inherited entries
    ...
}

The inherited entries are elaborated in:

• Foam::fixedValueFvPatchField

• If reverse flow is possible or expected use the pressureDirectedInletOutletVelocity condition instead.
