Hi, what does the lInf parameter mean in pressureTransmissive b.c.?
For instance: outlet { type pressureTransmissive; pInf 515000; lInf 1; value uniform 515000; } Is it the length to the place where pInf is extrapolated from? In this case, in what units is the length given? If I used a convertToMeters 0.0635; in my blockMeshDict, does this b.c. see this conversion or do I have to make sure myself that it has the correct value? All in all what does this lInf mean? best regards |

lInf is the relaxation length-scale (in m) for outgoing pressure waves to return to pInf. This stops the pressure in the domain floating about it the inlet pressure is not specified.
