fixedGradient boundary condition
 

Hi All,

I am working with scalarTransportFoam. I have specified a fixedGradient boundary condition at one of the boundary patches.

inlet
{
type fixedGradient;
gradient uniform 1.5;
}

I need to change the gradient value (i.e, 1.5) between iterations.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Finally, I figured out how to do it...

if(mesh.boundaryField()[patchIMesh1].type() == "fixedGradient")
{
fixedGradientFvPatchScalarField& bufferMesh1= refCast<fixedgradientfvpatchscalarfield>(T.boundar yField()[patchIMesh1]);
scalarField& gradMesh1 = bufferMesh1.gradient();
forAll (bufferMesh1, faceI)
{
gradMesh1[faceI] = ...
}
}

Dont forget to include fixedGradientFvPatchScalarFields.H file before main()

There is an error in the aforementioned code...it should be

if(T.boundaryField()[patchIMesh1].type() == "fixedGradient")

not

if(mesh.boundaryField()[patchIMesh1].type() == "fixedGradient")

Where T is the field that needs to be altered.
