boundary conditions
wall

Description🔗

The rotatingWallVelocity is a boundary condition that provides a rotational velocity condition.

Usage🔗

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

Boundary file🔗

<patchName>
{
    type            wall;
    ...
}

Field file🔗

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            rotatingWallVelocity;
    origin          <vector>;
    axis            <vector>;
    omega           <Function1<vector>>

    // Inherited entries
    ...
}
