How to define a dynamic Boundary Condition?

March 9, 2009, 06:29

Recently I am dealing with a 2 stages compressor. I want to vary the outlet static pressure (writeen as Ps) according to the timesteps (writeen as t). And I am going to use a function such as:

Ps=P1 t<t1 Ps=0.1*t t1<t<t2 Ps=P2 t>t2

The P1,P2,t1 and t2 are specified. So, could someone tell me that how to define the boundary condition in such a problem, should I use Fortran?

Hi,

This can be done in CEL, no need for fortran. Have a look at the tutorial examples, some of them use CEL expressions.

Thank you Glenn~ I have defined a function:Pressure(ctstep) and now it is working... Thanks again
