Defining an inlet inside a domain.

MR7 · March 1, 2019, 05:22

Hello everybody,
I'm going to simulate a negatively buoyant jet. Hence, I have a cubic domain(2*1*1m) and a circular plane (d=1cm) as the nozzle inside the domain (comparatively far from the domain's walls). The domain simply could be produced by blockMesh, but how should I define the nozzle? I don't think setField be the proper utility because it's appropriate for defining an initial condition, not BC.

How about using setSet to define a faceSet and then createPatch? Does that work for you?
