Question about BC of pitzDaily
 
Dear Foamers,

This is U from pisoFoam/les/pitzDaily/0:


Code:

internalField  uniform (0 0 0);

boundaryField
{
    inlet         
    {
        type            turbulentInlet;
        referenceField  uniform (10 0 0);
        fluctuationScale (0.02 0.01 0.01);
        value          uniform (10 0 0);
    }

    outlet         
    {
        type            inletOutlet;
        inletValue      uniform (0 0 0);
        value          uniform (0 0 0);
    }

    upperWall     
    {
        type            fixedValue;
        value          uniform (0 0 0);
    }

    lowerWall     
    {
        type            fixedValue;
        value          uniform (0 0 0);
    }

    frontAndBack   
    {
        type            empty;
    }
}

as it shows initial velocity is 0 for all domain. but, i can't understand boundary values for inlet and outlet of geometry:

Code:

inlet         
    {
        type            turbulentInlet;
        referenceField  uniform (10 0 0);
        fluctuationScale (0.02 0.01 0.01);
        value          uniform (10 0 0);
    }

    outlet         
    {
        type            inletOutlet;
        inletValue      uniform (0 0 0);
        value          uniform (0 0 0);

why outlet value is zero and is it possible?
what is difference between inletValue and value in outlet?
what is the terms in inlet and their detail definition?

Regards,
Maysam
