Detailed Description

Describes a volumetric/mass flow normal vector boundary condition by its magnitude as an integral over its area with a swirl component determined by the RPM.

The basis of the patch (volumetric or mass) is determined by the dimensions of the flux, phi. The current density is used to correct the velocity when applying the mass basis.

Example of the boundary condition specification:

inlet
{
typeswirlFlowRateInletVelocity;
flowRate0.2;// Volumetric/mass flow rate [m3/s or kg/s]
rpm 100;
}
Note:
  • The value is positive inwards
