Usage

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

Boundary file 

<patchName>
{
    type            patch;
    ...
}

Field file 

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            JohnsonJacksonParticleTheta;
    specularityCoefficient  <dimensionedScalar>;
    restitutionCoefficient  <dimensionedScalar>;

    // Inherited entries
    ...
}

where:

Property Description Type Required Default
type Type name: JohnsonJacksonParticleTheta word yes -
specularityCoefficient Specularity coefficient [-] dimensionedScalar yes -
restitutionCoefficient Restitution coefficient [-] dimensionedScalar yes -

The inherited entries are elaborated in:

  • mixedFvPatchFields.H

  • The specularity coefficient has to be within (0, 1).
  • The restitution coefficient has to be within (0, 1).
