Hello
I'm trying to simulate a pipeflow with 2 inflow boundary conditions and 1 outflow boundary condition using simpleFoam. I tried using a fixedValue boundary condition for the velocity at the outflow. But the simulation didn't converged and I got disturbances at the outflow. Which is expected because the flow is not uniform when it approaches the outflow boundary. I would like to define the velocity with zeroGradient at the inflow and the massflow or average velocity at the outflow. And the pressure with fixedValue at the inflow and zeroGradient at the outflow. How can I set the massflow or the average velocity at the outflow boundary? Any suggestions are appreciated!! |
