Description🔗
The edgeNormalFixedValue
is a boundary condition that provides
an edge normal fixed value vector field for finite area calculations.
This condition describes a surface normal vector boundary condition by its magnitude.
Usage🔗
The condition requires entries in both the boundary and field files.
Boundary file🔗
<patchName>
{
type patch;
...
}
Field file🔗
<patchName>
{
// Mandatory entries
type edgeNormalFixedValue;
refValue <scalarField>;
// Inherited entries
...
}
where:
Property | Description | Type | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|---|
type |
Type name: edgeNormalFixedValue
|
word | yes | - |
refValue |
Edge-normal velocity field | scalarField | yes | - |
The inherited entries are elaborated in:
-
fixedValueFaPatchFields.H
-
The value is positive for outward-pointing vectors.
