Hi all,

I'd like to know how to impose the following boundary condition for the velocity U.

-----velocity boundary condition-----------------------------------
*normal component(Un=U・n): Neumann B.C.
*tangential component(Ut=U-(U・n)n): Robin B.C.(A*dUt/dn + B*Ut = C)
*A,B and C are not constants but variables
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Is it possible using existing utilities?
Do I need to implement new boundary condition?

Thanks,
Fumiya

You can give it a try with groovyBC, however, I'm not sure if you can define the tangential component like that, you can check it here:

Hi Bernhard,

Thank you for your reply.
I tried with groovyBC, however, I think I can't change bc type
with the direction because fractionExpression is a scalar.

Dirichlet (fractionExpression=1)
Neumann (fractionExpression=0)

Hi Fumiya,
I am looking for robin bc too. Have you allready found an hint how to implement it in OpenFoam?
B.r.,

Hi Martin,

The solver named "adjointShapeOptimizationFoam" contained in OpenFOAM
V2.0.0 could be of some help.

Hope That Helps,
Fumiya
