Quick question...

Is it possible to use a spherical farfield/domain in OpenFOAM? If so, what boundary condition should be assigned for each initial boundaryField variable in the p, U, omega, epsilon, etc. files?

Thanks!

Matt

Hi,

If you can make a spherical far field then I don't think there should be any problem in using a spherical domain. Also there doesn't seem to be a problem with zeroGradient BC on those curved faces to simulate far-field.
