Usage

Wave cases are set-up by defining boundary conditions on the velocity and phase fraction fields, in combination with common settings in the waveProperties dictionary located in the constant directory.

The condition on the phase fraction field, typically named alpha, is set to waveAlpha:

<patch>
{
type waveAlpha;
values <initial value>;
}

and the velocity field, typically named U, to waveVelocity:

<patch>
{
type waveVelocity;
values <initial value>;
}
