Description

The specularRadiation is a mixed boundary condition that provides a specular radiation condition for axisymmetric and symmetry-plane fvDOM computations.

Usage

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

Boundary file 

<patchName>
{
    type            patch;
    ...
}

Field file 

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            specularRadiation;

    // Optional entries
    interpolate         <bool>;

    // Inherited entries
    patchType           <word>;
    ...
}

where:

Property Description Type Required Default
type Type name: specularRadiation word yes -
interpolate Flag to enable ray-intensity interp bool no false
