[bloodflow]

For a cylinder of fluid with 2 phase flow, your inlet requires a VOF BC so lets put say 0.5 as an initial guess, which is applied uniformly to the inlet. In reality, this distribution may be different depending on their densities and visocisties. If you export the VOF at the outlet as a profile, and read it as the inlet VOF BC you now have a slightly better condition. If you repeat this several times you could generate a better approximation of the inlet VOF (Providing you have a cyclic velocity BC).

So far I am exporting the outlet VOF at the end of my solution using TUI, but then loading it as the inlet BC manually, and solving again using TUI and so on. Can I do this using the TUI entirely?

Some example;

PHP Code:

rc VOFProfile.cas
/solve/initialize/hyb-initialization
/solve/set/time-step 0.001
/solve/dti 800 75
/file/write-profile/ VOF-BC-1 outlet () highdensity-vof ()
exit
yes 


Is my current TUI which export the VOF profile at the outlet. Within the same run can read this profile and apply it to my inlet? (I imagine the code would look something like this)

PHP Code:

rc VOFProfile.cas
/solve/initialize/hyb-initialization
/solve/set/time-step 0.001
/solve/dti 800 75
/file/write-profile/ VOF-BC-1 outlet () highdensity-vof ()
/file/read-profile/ VOF-BC-1
/define/boundary-conditions/velocity-inlet/multiphase/ VOF-BC-1 ()
/solve/dti 800 75
/file/write-profile/ VOF-BC-2 outlet () highdensity-vof ()
/file/read-profile/ VOF-BC-2
/define/boundary-conditions/velocity-inlet/multiphase/ VOF-BC-2 ()
...... 


Is this possible?
