for fully developed velocity profile, i have simulated channel flow and i want to use channel flow fully developed velocity profile at outlet as a inlet for my 2D backward facing step problem.

i can create a boundary condition for parabolic profile but i want to use polynomial boundary condition as it is more simple.

uniformValue polynomial // y = 0.1 + 1.3x^2 + 2.7x^3
(
(0.1 0)
(1.3 2.0)
(2.7 3.0)
);

is it for scalar or vector field? and i cant understand what is these values mean? (0.1 0) (1.3 2.0) (2.7 3.0)

for same problem with 3D if there is wall on both side then how can i use outlet surface fully developed velocity profile in channel flow as a inlet condition in backward facing step?

i suggest to install groovyBC to apply such boundary condition.

i am using openfoam4, i tried to install groovy boundary condition/swak4Foam but when i iexecuted wmake all in terminal then i got some error as

how can i install it properly, could you please guide me for this.

Thank you for your reply.

i tried to use csv file as BC but i got some error

boundaryField
{
inlet
{
type uniformValue;
value uniform csvFile;
csvFileCoeffs
{
fileName "U_bc.csv" //file Name
outOfBounds clamp;
hasHeaderLine true;
refColumn 1; //velocity profile along y axis
componentColumns (0 1 2);
}
}

error is
