Hi @ all,

I'm working on simulating a super focus mixer.


Here's the checkmesh.log. All fine.
Since "in real life" the nozzles for fluid A and B shall alternate in the focus inlet in x-direction, I want to assign alternating scalar values for T using scalarTransportFoam with groovyBC.

Below you find the 0/T-file.
Here's the general idea:
-circ is the circumference of the focus inlet
-n is the total number of nozzles
I'm creating the vector vec for calculation

mag(vec)%(circ/n)

If this is <=0.5 I want to assign value A, otherwise value B.

Using scalarTransportFoam works without any warnings (log-file) but in ParaView, the focus inlet is globally assigned my "failsafe" value 0.1.

I'm certain there are no mess-ups due to convertToMeters or anything alike.

Any ideas how to get by this?
Much appreciated,
Dominik

0/T-file:

internalField   uniform 0;

boundaryField
{
    focus_inlet
    {
    type           groovyBC;
    variables    "n=5;alpha=pi*50/180;b_channel=500e-3;l_focus=1000e-3;r=(b_channel/2+tan(alpha/2)*l_focus)/(sin(alpha/2));circ=r*alpha;vec=vector(pos().x,0,pos().z-l_focus);";
//    condition ? value_if_true : value_if_false 
    valueExpression "mag(vec)%(circ/n)<=0.5    ?    1    :    0.5";
    value         uniform 0.1;
    }

    channel_outlet
    {
        type            zeroGradient;
    }

    walls
    {
        type            zeroGradient;
    }
