[waves2Foam] the Stream Function theory with different A() and B()

May Z · November 19, 2018, 05:20

Hi all,
I meet with a problem in waves2Foam, I want to use stream Function, with known A coefficient and B coefficient. However, A coefficient has different number from B coefficient, so how can I adjust the value of N in waveProperties?

Looking forward for reply, thanks a lot.

Hi May,

The code is not built for different number of coefficients for A and B, since you are then prescribing an inconsistency between surface elevation and velocity field.

If you really want to do this, I suggest that you think up some kind of hack.

Kind regards

Niels
