patching the inlet field from a file
Hi,
I had posted a thread this morning regarding the same..but I am not sure if I explained myself clearly..
I ran a simpleFoam simulation on a rectangular channel. the flow is laminar.. I was able to include a file sampleDict in the system folder, which basically saved the velocity fields at the outlet of the channel. I am including that for the reference..
Code:
/*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\
| ========= | |
| \\ / F ield | OpenFOAM: The Open Source CFD Toolbox |
| \\ / O peration | Version: 1.5 |
| \\ / A nd | Web: http://www.OpenFOAM.org |
| \\/ M anipulation | |
\*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
FoamFile
{
version 2.0;
format ascii;
class dictionary;
object sampleDict;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //
interpolationScheme cellPoint;
setFormat raw;
surfaceFormat foamFile;
sets ();
surfaces
(
_left
{
type patch;
patchName outlet_left;
/*name plate;
basePoint (0 0 0.25);
normalVector (0 0 1);*/
}
);
fields
(
U
);
// ************************************************************************* //
Now I have to start another simulation in a reactor..I need to using the velocity field that i save using the above procedure as the inlet bc..Could anybody please explain how that is done in openfoam..
