Hi all,

Does anyone could explain to me how to set a variable (in function of time) inlet speed ? (i.e variable boundary condition for the inlet in a sonic flow)

Thank you very much,

Pascal

Maybe you can realize this with groovyBC: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Contrib_groovyBC

If you do not manage to use groovyBC, you can also do that by adding a small piece of code into your solver that modifies the inlet condition at each time step.
