Set velocity in BC
 

Hi! I have a 2D model and I would like to fix the components of velocity in one of the edges as follows: Vy=0 Vx= not fixed (is computed by FLUENT).

Does anyone know what kind of BC should I use? Many thanks Xavi

You can write a simple UDF tha access the edge you want and set the Vy = 0. There is an access macro command that allows you to do that: C_U(c,t) and C_V(c,t). You can try that.

Thanks! I am trying to find out more info about UDFs, What does the c mean? is it a constant?. Do you know exactly what should the text of the UDF be? thanks

"c" stands for cell, "f" for face and "t" for thread.

It will look like that

include "udf.h"

DEFINE_PROFILE(velocity,t,i) {

real r; cell_t c;

begin_c_loop(c,t)

{

C_V(c,t) = 0 }

end_c_loop(c,t)

}

try this. It will probably works.

Mnay thanks! I found out an easier way to do that: impose the boundary condition: "symmetry" and then the Vy=0 and Vx is computed. Cheers, xavi
