Hi,

I want to modify the mixed boundary condition in OpenFOAM so that
I can set the refValue up as the boundary value of another field U.

I think I have to make modifications something like the followings to the
original code(src/finiteVolume/fields/fvPatchFields/basic/mixed/
mixedFvPatchField.C).

In the evaluate function,

template<class Type>
void mixedFvPatchField<Type>::evaluate(const Pstream::commsTypes)
{
if (!this->updated())
{
this->updateCoeffs();
}

************my modifications***********************************
const fvPatchField<Type>& Up =
this->patch().template lookupPatchField<volField<Type>, Type>("U");

refValue_ = boundary value of Up;
************************************************** *********

Field<Type>perator=
(
valueFraction_*refValue_
+
(1.0 - valueFraction_)*
(
this->patchInternalField()
+ refGrad_/this->patch().deltaCoeffs()
)
);

fvPatchField<Type>::evaluate();
}

What exact modifications should I do?

Regards,
Fumiya

To be more specific, could you tell me how to use the lookupPatchField
for any kind of Field (scalar, vector, tensor), like

const fvPatchField<Type>& Up =
this->patch().template lookupPatchField<volField<Type>, Type>("U");

When I use the above command, there is an error that volField was not
declared in this scope.
