Description🔗
The uniformNormalFixedValue
is a boundary condition that
provides a uniform surface-normal vector 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 uniformNormalFixedValue;
uniformValue <PatchFunction1<Type>>;
// Optional entries
ramp <Function1<scalar>>;
// Inherited entries
...
}
where:
Property | Description | Type | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|---|
type |
Type name: uniformNormalFixedValue
|
word | yes | - |
uniformValue |
Patch field values | PatchFunction1<Type> | yes | - |
ramp |
Time-variant ramp | Function1<scalar> | no | - |
The inherited entries are elaborated in:
- fixedValueFvPatchField.H
- PatchFunction1.H
-
Function1.H
- Sign conventions:
- the value is positive for outward-pointing vectors
