Outflow BC's - Windkessel

Vitaly · February 7, 2012, 16:37

Hello,

I have a couple of questions about Outflow BCs.

In my domain, I have a geometry with a single inlet and multiple outlets.

Periodic waveform describing the flow-rate is specified at the inlet.

I am trying to impose Windkessel BC at the outlet. I am not sure how to deal with the fact that the Pressure depends on the flow-rate and vice versa.

Please give some advice on this issue or, as a best scenario, please recommend something to read that will clear this up.

Thanks in advance!

Vitaly
