Backport of turbulentDFSEMInlet BC from OpenFOAM(R) v1812 to OpenFOAM 5.x.
After bug report(s) and email message decided to add this paragraphe here. If we take a look at turbulentDFSEMInletFvPatchVectorField.H, in the header comment there is a table:
| Property | Description | Required | Default value |
|---|---|---|---|
value |
Restart value | yes | |
delta |
Local limiting length scale | yes | |
R |
Reynolds stress field | no | |
U |
Velocity field | no | |
L |
Turbulence length scale field | no | |
d |
Eddy density(fill fraction) | no | 1 |
kappa |
Von Karman constant | no | 0.41 |
mapMethod |
Method to map reference values | no | planarInterpolation |
perturb |
Point perturbation for interpolation | no | 1e-5 |
writeEddies |
Flag to write eddies as OBJ file | no | no |
No in Required column of R, U, and L can be a bit misleading. They are, in fact, required but can be supplied in two ways:
- As a single value in B.C. dictionary
- As an interpolated values in
constant/boundaryData/<patch name>/0/<field name>. Interpolated value usually are taken from another simulation outlet. Format of input files for interpolation can be found in the following tutorials:$ find . -name 'boundaryData' ./incompressible/pimpleFoam/LES/channel395DFSEM/constant/boundaryData ./incompressible/simpleFoam/pitzDailyExptInlet/constant/boundaryData ./verificationAndValidation/atmosphericModels/atmFlatTerrain/successor/constant/boundaryData ./verificationAndValidation/turbulentInflow/PCF/constant/boundaryData
