Detailed Description

Describes a volumetric/mass flow normal vector boundary condition by its magnitude as an integral over its area with a swirl component determined by the RPM.

The basis of the patch (volumetric or mass) is determined by the dimensions of the flux, phi. The current density is used to correct the velocity when applying the mass basis.

The boundary condition is sensitised to work only on live IB cells

Example of the boundary condition specification:

inlet
{
    type            ibSwirlFlowRateInletVelocity;
    flowRate        0.2;        // Volumetric/mass flow rate [m3/s or kg/s]
    rpm             100;
}

Note

The value is positive inwards
