scaledFixedValue

Description

The scaledFixedValue is a boundary condition that applies a scalar multiplier to the value of another boundary condition.

Usage

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

Boundary file

<patchName>
{
    type            patch;
    ...
}

Field file

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            scaledFixedValue;
    scale           <PatchFunction1<scalar>>;
    refValue        <fvPatchField<Type>>;

    // Inherited entries
    ...
}

where:

Property	Description	Type	Required	Default
type	Type name: scaledFixedValue	word	yes	-
scale	Scalar scale factor	PatchFunction1<scalar>	yes	-
refValue	Condition to supply the reference value	fvPatchField<Type>	yes	-
