Howdy Foamers:
After digging around for the last few days, I still have some questions on how the mapped boundary condition works ... I am doing an LES simulation in an open channel geometry (wall on the bottom boundary, zeroGradient on the top boundary). I am thinking of taking turbulent sample from the outlet boundary and feed it back to the inlet, where I prescribe some kind of mean velocity / mass flow rate. It seems that "mappedFlowRate" should do the job, based on the reference in this post (How to properly use mappedFlowRate. To test the setup I have a rectangular pipe (DX = DY = 1, DZ = 2) with corresponding inlet and outlet. Here is the relevant parts of my ./system/blockMeshDict: Code:
inletMap { type mappedPatch; sampleMode nearestPatchFace; samplePatch outletMap; sampleRegion region0; offsetMode uniform; offset ( 1 0 0 ); faces ( (0 4 7 3) ); } outletMap { type patch; faces ( (2 6 5 1) ); } Code:
inletMap { type mappedFlowRate; phi phi; rho rho; neigPhi phi; value uniform ( 10 0 0 ); } outletMap { type inletOutlet; inletValue uniform ( 0 0 0 ); outletValue uniform ( 0 0 0 ); } It is very likely I have a false understanding of what the mapped family boundary conditions actually does. I don't know what else is missing. Gerry. |
