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++ -*----------------------------------*\

\*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
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..

Regards,
vishwa
