Description🔗
The outletPhaseMeanVelocity
is a velocity-outlet boundary condition that
adjusts the velocity for the given phase to achieve the specified mean thus
causing the phase-fraction to adjust according to the mass flow rate.
Typical usage is as the outlet condition for a towing-tank ship simulation to maintain the outlet water level at the level as the inlet.
Usage🔗
The condition requires entries in both the boundary and field files.
Boundary file🔗
<patchName>
{
type patch;
...
}
Field file🔗
<patchName>
{
// Mandatory entries
type outletPhaseMeanVelocity;
Umean <scalar>;
alpha <word>;
// Inherited entries
