The pressureInletUniformVelocity is a velocity boundary condition that calculates uniform inflow velocity by averaging the flux over the patch, and then applying it in the direction normal to the patch faces.

Usage

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

Boundary file

<patchName>
{
type patch;
...
}

Field file
