timeVaryingMappedFixedValue error

mcfdma · May 5, 2020, 07:17

Hi. I am working on a 2D axi case where I want to create a parabolic velocity profile at the inlet. I am trying to use the tutorial case pitzDailyExptInlet as a reference for the timeVaryingMappedFixedValue aspect.

My U file

Code:

boundaryField
{
    axis
    {
        type            empty;
    }
    inlet
    {
        type            timeVaryingMappedFixedValue;
        offset          (0 0 0);
        setAverage      off;
    }
    wall
    {
        type            fixedValue;
	value		uniform (0 0 0);
    }
    outlet
    {
        type            zeroGradient;
    }
    front
    {
        type            wedge;
    }
    back
    {
        type            wedge;
    }
}

I am including the blockMeshDict to provide a clear understanding.

Hey mcfdma.

I am too facing the same problem, have you solve it ?

Welcome hk19,

I am quoting a possible solution to the problem:

P.S. Always remember that your problem has been most probably answered elsewhere.

Best,
Petros
