Description🔗

The uniformFixedValue is a boundary condition that provides a uniform fixed value condition.

Usage🔗

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

Boundary file🔗

<patchName>
{
    type            patch;
    ...
}

Field file🔗

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            uniformFixedValue;
    uniformValue <Function1<Type>>;

    // Inherited entries
    ...
}

where:

The inherited entries are elaborated in:

• fixedGradientFaPatchField.H

• Function1.H

• The value entry (optional) is used for the initial values. Otherwise the uniformValue is used for the evaluation. In some cases (eg, coded or expression entries with references to other fields) this can be problematic and the value entry will be needed.
