Greetings,

I understand that pressureInletOutletVelocity, according to its description, says that it will assign zeroGradient to velocity for outflow and for inflow it will assign a velocity based on the flux in the patch normal direction.

However, as far as I can tell, that's not what it really does. It doesn't compute and assign a velocity based on phi. It assigns a velocity value that you specify for "value". Right?

The "value" from the boundary file is used only for initialization: https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...torField.C#L76
