non reflecting version of Navier Stokes characteristic boundary condition

Weiqiang Liu · June 13, 2020, 00:39

Hi all,

I tried to reproduce results in a paper and found the boundary condition setting which is described by the author like follows:

"For inflow and outflow boundary conditions ,a non reflecting version of Navier Stokes characteristic boundary condition is applied"

I am wondering what is non reflecting version of Navier Stokes characteristic boundary condition? How can I implement it in fluent?

Best regards

Weiqiang

These are boundary conditions for preventing unwanted reflection of acoustic waves at boundaries. See Pointsot and Lele and Kim and Lee. When running transient compressible flow calculations, acoustic waves can build up inside the domain and eventually trigger an acoustic mode because the normal inlet and outlet BC's are acoustically reflecting.

Note that Fluent already has a wave transmissive boundary condition which is designed for the same purpose.
