Hello,

I'm trying to simulate blood flow in a arterie and i want to set the pulsating velocity as a boundary condition at the inlet. As i'm new to OpenFOAM and my C++ knowledge is limited at best, i was hoping that somebody here could point me to the right direction.

I was thinking of using the timevaryinguniformfixedvalue, and read from a file, like "inlet.dat" or smth like that. however I'm not sure on how to make it read a field for each timestep, instead of a vector, so any help in that department is really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
