Define flux type boundary condition for UDS

mvee · October 7, 2013, 02:43

Hi
I am solving an additional transport equation through UDS say uds0. I would like to define the bounday condition for this through following expression:
$\frac{\partial{UDS0})}{\partial{x}}={a}+{b}*{y}$

How can I define this.

Thank you

Hi,

I think that you can use DEFINE_PROFILE in your UDF. In the UDF manual says that "You can use DEFINE_PROFILE to define a custom boundary profile that varies as a function of spatial
coordinates or time".
I hope it can help you...

Hi CC

Thanks for your response

You are correct, define_profile is the option. But the thing is I want to have, $\frac{\partial{UDS0}}{\partial{x}}$ , which is not directly possible through define_profile.

What other option can I try?

Thanks

Hi mvee,

What type is your BC?
If it's a wall BC I think that you can use DEFINE_PROFILE to define a F_PROFILE(c,t,i) with your expression and then in
BoundaryCondition->Wall->UDS(0)->SpecifiedFlux
you can select your BC. As the flux option is selected you are given the derivative.
Sorry, I don't know other option that you can use.
