Wave generation
 
Hi Foamers,

I have several questions with wave generation, mostly with the waveProperties dictionary.
- How npaddle works? If I have 4 inlet boundaries, should I set it to 4? If yes, why? If no, why not? What if I set it 40?
- Can I generate waves in curved (arc) boundary properly?
-What is waveAngle? Its 0 everywhere, in tutorials, forums... but what is it?
- rampTime is the time that our fictional wavemaker reach its operating velocity. Am I right? Why is the practice that it is two times wavePeriod?
- What is activeAbsortion, when does it makes sense to switch it off?

Thank you in advance!
