Description🔗
The swirlInletVelocity
is a velocity boundary condition
that describes an inlet vector boundary condition in swirl coordinates given a
central axis, central point, axial, radial and tangential velocity profiles.
Usage🔗
The condition requires entries in both the boundary and field files.
