Poisson wall distance

Properties

Calculation of approximate distance to nearest patch for all cells and boundary by solving a Poisson equation.

Usage

The scheme is specified using:

wallDist
{
method Poisson;
}

This requires the additional entry in the divSchemes sub-dictionary in the fvSchemes file, e.g.:

laplacianSchemes
{
laplacian(yPsi) <laplacian scheme>;
}

An solver entry for the yPsi variable is also required for the fvSolution file, e.g.

yPsi
{
solver <solver>;
...
tolerance 1e-5;
relTol 0;
}
