Hi everybody,

If I want to define the viscosity or gravity acceleration or anything else as a function of depth, what should I do? in example, g=ay^2+b, where y is the height from bottom surface. I searched the internet but I couldn't find anything.

anybody knows how can I do it? can I use pos().y, which is used in groovyBC?

thanks a lot

I don't know if it helps you, but you can access the coordinates as (e.g. z-coordinate)

const volScalarField& Cz = mesh.C().component(vector::Z);

You can use this in the computation of parameters as

g = a*sqr(Cs)+b

The createFields.H file is a good place to put this if g remains constant during the simulation.

I have never worked with groovyBC so I can't help you with that.

Cheers,

L

Dear Lieven,

Thank you for your reply. I think your post is what I want. I will test it.
