Cyclic boundary for inlet and outlet with constant pressure gradient to drive flow
 

Hello all,

I'm interested in implementing pressure driven flow through a corrugated channel using simpleFoam. The case is 2D steady-state, incompressible, laminar flow. I'd like to have:
- U as a periodic velocity profile (on inlet and outlet)
- p to have a constant pressure gradient
I have specified the inlet and outlet boundaries as cyclic. But I'm not sure how to drive flow. I was thinking this could be done with fvOptions, but I have no idea how to do this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks
Mackenzie :D

You can use meanVelocityForce fvOptions:
