Checking whether a node belongs to wall boundary(HEATFLUX_BC).!)

Vino · January 5, 2015, 04:13

Hi,

I would like to do some corrections in wall boundary (no-slip) . Is there any way to identify whether a node is from wall boundary(HEATFLUX_BC)?

I tried the following.

bool boundary = geometry->node[iPoint]->GetPhysicalBoundary();

but it checks for all the boundaries. Is there any specific way to check for only wall boundaries.

Thanks.!!!

Dear Vino,

Although we don't use it very often, please try the following to search for solid wall boundaries (Euler, isothermal, heat flux):

bool boundary = geometry->node[iPoint]->GetSolidBoundary();

Hope this helps,

Thanks for you reply.

I tried the option: bool boundary = geometry->node[iPoint]->GetSolidBoundary();

I found it is not detecting any boundaries including EULER, HEATFLUX and ISOTHERMAL WALL.

I suspect there may be a bug in this. Can you tell me whether this function ( GetSolidBoundary() ) anywhere used in the code.

Thank you.

Hi,

Can you please try this again with the 'develop' branch (the most recent developer version of the code)? I think that a fix for this was recently applied: https://github.com/su2code/SU2/tree/develop.
