Velocity at outlet

paillou · June 14, 2011, 10:58

Hello there,

I must be going crazy, but I can't find a way to specify a face boundary condition as an outlet with a specified velocity.

Doing:

outlet
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform (-1.5 0 0);
}

in 0/U act like the minus isn't seen by openfoam.

I'm sure there is a way to do this but I can't find a solution using what I know of openfoam functionalities.

Thanks in advance !
