Setting time and space Dependant Boundary Conditions

GiadaL · September 23, 2019, 06:06

Good Morning to everyone
I'm new on the forum so I apologize if I am posting my question in the wrong section!

I have to solve an heat conduction problem into a temperature probe. The cross sectional area of the probe is circular, and I need to set the boundary condition on the outer surface of the probe taking the values from experimental data. That's to say I need to set as boundary condition a certain field such as T(theta, t) where theta is the coordinate along the probe circumference.

I've read that there is swak4Foam library that can implement such complex BCs but I think is no more implemented for OF V5, that is the one that I'm using.
How can I solve this problem? Are there other options already available in OF V5 to set such BCs?

Thank you so much for your help

this tutorial should cover what you need i guess.
