willscottmatt is on a distinguished road
I would like to increase the velocity of the fluid throughout my channel395 simulation, because I want to look at the development of the boundary layer as velocity increases. However with the cyclic boundaries I don't know how to include the velocity inlet as a ramp or something like that. So instead I looked at adding a body force to pimpleFoam to accelerate the fluid. Even with the information on this forum pertaining to body forces, I am absolutely lost as to where to start and I really would like someone to just dumb this down for me, because I am pretty new to this.

Regards,

Will
