inletOutletTotalTemperature

Description

The inletOutletTotalTemperature is a temperature boundary condition that provides an outflow condition for total temperature for use with supersonic cases, where a user-specified value is applied in the case of reverse flow.

Usage

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

Boundary file

<patchName>
{
    type            patch;
    ...
}

Field file

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            inletOutletTotalTemperature;
    T0              <scalarField>;
    gamma           <scalar>;

    // Optional entries
    U               <word>;
    psi             <word>;
    phi             <word>;

    // Inherited entries;
    ...
}
