[swak4Foam] groovyBC error: velocity profile (2D) >> what's wrong?

groovyBC error

Hi everybody!

I'm trying to implement a parabolic velocity profile to my inlet (2D), cordinates: (x,z) . Inlet is located between the coordinates z= 0 and z=0.001. the parabolic equation for this profile is

Velocity_x_direction = 99*z - 98072*z².

This equation in this range of points (between z= 0 and z=0.001) give the exact velocity profile that I need.

I already add "libs" lines in the end of ControlDict file (I'm using swak4Foam to use GroovyBC):

Code:

The problem is probably the spaces between ";" and "velocity".

Which version of swak4Foam are you using? I thought that problem was already fixed

swak4Foam 0.3.0

Scalar constants are "on the faces". To use them on points you'll have to wrap them in toPoint().

Anyway: leave that. I think you want to use pos() instead of pts().
