Hello Foamers,

I am trying to set up a case in Openfoam-2.4.-MNF, specifically I want to use dsmcFoam+. In my simulation I am trying to model a gas flow emerging from a thruster into near-vacuum. For the inlet I am using the boundary condition "dsmcMassFlowRateInlet" which is specific to dsmcFoam+. The setup within the "boundariesDict" is the following:

Code:
boundary
    {
        generalBoundaryProperties
        {
            patchName            inlet;
        }

        boundaryModel         dsmcMassFlowRateInlet; 

        dsmcMassFlowRateInletProperties
          {
        moleFractions
            {
                N2 1;    
            };
        typeIds                (N2);
        massFlowRate         0.003; 
        inletTemperature    1000;
        initialVelocity        (2600 240 0);

        };
This allows me to specify the overall massflow going through the surface (3 g/s). However, I would like to apply a massflow-profile (and temperature/velocity-profile) over the surface; i.e. have a specified massflow for every cell of the inlet patch.

Does anyone know some good advice on this?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi proff
Please help me. How to give a boundary condition rotational in dsmcfoamplus?
