Significance of brackets [] in boundary.in

I'm scripting a system for automatically changing BC's in simulation runs. Is there a particular significance to variables that are specified with brackets around them, or is it just to denote that they are an Inflow?

The brackets [ ] in boundary.in imply that the pressure is total pressure. Otherwise it is static pressure. This is usually for the INFLOW BC. When the pressure BC is set to total pressure, the temperature BC at the INFLOW is set to total temperature automatically. Therefore, you don't need to set the total temperature BC at the INFLOW. Thanks, Yunliang |

Greetings,
For subsonic flows, you can have a DIRICHLET/specified boundary condition for either the pressure or the velocity. The other should be Neumann. MASS FLOW is a special dirichlet condition for velocity, and thus cannot be provided along with a pressure profile for your INFLOW boundary. If you have specified a pressure profile for the INFLOW, you can always obtain the corresponding mass flow rates through the INFLOW in mass_avg_flow.out. Considering a simple example of flow through straight pipe, this flow rate will vary if either the pressure at INFLOW or that at OUTFLOW is varied. Hope this helps, Sincerely, |
