Description
    This boundary condition tries to generate an inlet velocity that maintains
    a specified pressure drop between two face zones downstream. The zones
    should fully span a duct through which all the inlet flow passes.
 
    An incompressible, lossless analysis of the flow between the inlet and the
    two face-zones is performed. An ideal inlet velocity is thereby calculated
    from the user-specified pressure drop. This analysis can include the
    transient effect of the inlet velocity change. In this case, a shape factor
    is included to represent non-linearity in the duct cross section.
 
    The average pressure drop between the two face zones is measured. The same
    incompressible, lossless analysis is performed using this pressure drop.
    The difference between the two computed velocities is considered as an
    error. The ideal inlet is modified so as to drive this error to zero. This
    is accomplished by means of a PID control algorithm, for which
    non-dimensional gains are specified by the user.
 
    The shape factor takes a value of 0 for a linear change in cross sectional
    area between the two face zones. A value of 1 represents a step change in
    area at the mid-point between the zones. A smooth cubic or cosine profile
    between two zones with zero divergence is typically represented by a factor
    of between 0.2 and 0.25.
