outletMappedUniformInletHeatAddition

Description

The outletMappedUniformInletHeatAddition is a boundary condition that provides a temperature boundary condition averages the temperature over the "outlet" patch specified by name "outletPatchName" and applies an extra heat source. This is set as a uniform temperature value on this patch.

Usage

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

Boundary file

<patchName>
{
    type            patch;
    ...
}

Field file

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            outletMappedUniformInletHeatAddition;
    outletPatch     <word>;
    Q               <scalar>;

    // Optional entries
    phi             <word>;
    TMin            <scalar>;
    TMax            <scalar>;

    // Inherited entries
    ...
}
