Dear all,

I want to impose a velocity at the inlet which is parabolic at the bottom and top and constant in the middle of the inlet. But flunet does not regonize the locations correctly, so what is wrong in my UDF, pls help!!

Here is my udf,


#include "udf.h"
#define S 0.038
#define V1 10.86


DEFINE_PROFILE(inlet_x_velocity, thread, index)
{
real x[ND_ND]; /* this will hold the position vector */
real y;
face_t f;

begin_f_loop(f, thread)
{
F_CENTROID(x,f,thread);
y = x[1];
if (y<=S)
F_PROFILE(f, thread, index) = 249.384*y*y+249.384*y;

else if (S<=y<=3*S)
F_PROFILE(f, thread, index) = V1;
else if (3*S<=y<=4*S)
F_PROFILE(f, thread, index) = -83.514*y*y-83.514*y+14.6238;


}
end_f_loop(f, thread)
}


Thank you,
-Selim

Hi,
the following udf will produce the following velocity-y coordinate chart; velocity will be a function of the only y coordinate.
Take care to operators <=, >= etc.: in your udf, if for example y=S both
F_PROFILE(f, thread, index) = 249.384*y*y+249.384*y;
F_PROFILE(f, thread, index) = V1;
are valid

Code:
#include "udf.h"
#define S 0.038
#define V1 10.86


DEFINE_PROFILE(inlet_x_velocity, thread, index) 
{
    real x[ND_ND];        /* this will hold the position vector */
    real y;
    face_t f;

    begin_f_loop(f, thread)
        {
        F_CENTROID(x,f,thread);
        y = x[1];
        if (y<=S)        /* y=S is included */
            F_PROFILE(f, thread, index) = 249.384*y*y+249.384*y;
        else if (S<y<3*S)        /* y=S and y=3S are not included */
            F_PROFILE(f, thread, index) = V1;
        else /* no need for another else if, 3S is included here */
        F_PROFILE(f, thread, index) = -83.514*y*y-83.514*y+14.6238;
        }
    end_f_loop(f, thread)
}
