How define Delta y(or x) between two neighbor cells for boundary condition ?

rapierrz · March 1, 2015, 11:41

Hi friends,

I want to add a boundary condition with below equation :

a*grad(phi)+b*grad(T)=0 at wall. a,b are constant and phi,T is scalarField.

grad(phi) is (phi-oldTime(phi))/delta y

How i can define delta y between two neighbor cells?

I'm not sure if I understood well what you need, but if the delta you are referring is the face-center to cell-center distance you have to use the expression delta()

Hi Alex,

I want to calculate the space between mesh near the upper wall of a chanel

and it's neighbor cell.

for example : (T-oldTime(T))/y2-y1;

y1=y position of mesh near the wall

y2=y position of mesh near the Previous mesh.

thank you,

Hello Rapierrz, have you found the answer to this? I need to calculate the distance between mesh points, for a self-defined variable, too.
Thanks in advance!
