Opening Boundary (as CFX)

hydraulic · June 21, 2018, 07:55

Hi All,
I am trying to find in OF a similar boundary condition as "opening" in CFX. "With the opening type boundary, as both inflow and outflow are allowed "according to the CFX user guide. Does anyone knows such similar BC ?
Regards

Hi!

I don't know what is opening in CFX, but what if you use fixedValue for pressure and zeroGradient for velocity? Then backflow is allowed.

Or inletOutlet and you can specity/disable the backFlow:
