headwing New Member Matt Join Date: Oct 2010 Posts: 4 Rep Power: 16	Quick question... Is it possible to use a spherical farfield/domain in OpenFOAM? If so, what boundary condition should be assigned for each initial boundaryField variable in the p, U, omega, epsilon, etc. files? Thanks! Matt

Also there doesn't seem to be a problem with zeroGradient BC on those curved faces to simulate far-field.
