Hi all,

I have some questions concerning patches in OpenFOAM.

Is it possible to define a patch which allows the medium (gas, liquid... doesn't matter) to pass through this patch only when the pressure of that medium reaches a certain level, but when the pressure decreases below that certain limit in the time of simulation the patch behaves like a wall again? Of course I would like to prevent either a back flow with this model. Roughly speaking is it possible to model a simple check valve?

The other question is. Is there a type of inlet patch in which I could set up decreasing/increasing flow due to a change of a pressure against time?
