Description🔗
The translatingWallVelocity
is a velocity boundary condition for translational
motion on walls that sets the velocity parallel to the wall to a given value,
e.g. to approximate a moving ground plane. The patch normal velocity component
is set to zero.
Usage🔗
The condition requires entries in both the boundary and field files.
Boundary file🔗
<patchName>
{
type patch;
...
}
Field file🔗
<patchName>
{
// Mandatory entries
type translatingWallVelocity;
U <Function1<vector>>;
// Inherited entries
...
}
where:
Property | Description | Type | Required | Default |
