Dears,

I would like to ask you if it is possible to insert a non-uniform velocity distribution in my inlet patch (for instance from a table as we can do in Star-CCM).

I know that it is possible to change my inlet velocity whenever I wish using ''uniform table'' as you can see below:

INLET
{
type uniformFixedValue;
uniformValue table
(
(0 (-3 0 0))
(5E+2 (-3 0 0))
(5.050E+2 (-2 0 0))
(10E+2 (-2 0 0))
(10.050E+2 (-1 0 0))
(1.5E+3 (-1 0 0))
);
}

I have my inlet velocity distribution and I'd like to insert that and not a constant value and change that during my simulation.


Thank you for your attention!

Rodrigo Correa

I think this can help you~

inlet
{
type uniformFixedValue;
// type timeVaryingUniformFixedValue;
// type timeVaryingMappedFixedValue;
uniformValue tableFile;
tableFileCoeffs
{
fileName "$FOAM_CASE/0/intable";
outOfBounds repeat;
}
