uniformFixedValue

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:

PropertyDescriptionTypeRequiredDefault
typeType name: uniformFixedValuewordyes-
uniformValueUniform value fieldFunction1<Type>yes-

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.
