Description
|
||||
This boundary condition provides an entrainment pressure condition. The
|
||||
condition is the same as totalPressure condition except that where the
|
||||
total pressure uses the square of the velocity magnitude, this uses the
|
||||
signed square of the normal velocity. In the incompressible case, that
|
||||
means the formulation is as follows:
|
||||
This is a boundary condition for pressure suitable for boundaries at which
|
||||
the flow direction is uncertain but both inflow and/or outflow can occur.
|
||||
The condition switches based on the direction of flow. For outflow, the
|
||||
patch pressure is simply set to the reference pressure. For inflow, the
|
||||
patch pressure is reduced by the dynamic pressure calculated using the
|
||||
inflow velocity normal to the patch.
|
||||
|
||||
For incompressible flow, with pressure expressed in kinematic units, the
|
||||
pressure with inflow is calculated as:
|
||||
|
||||
\f[
|
||||
p_p = p_0 + 0.5 Un |Un|
|
||||
p_p = p_0 - 0.5 |Un|^2

|

This condition is particularly suitable for boundaries on which the flow
|
||||
direction changes frequently and/or when the inlet/outlet direction is not
|
||||
well defined.
|
||||
The condition is similar to the totalPressure condition and includes
|
||||
further calculations of pressure for compressible flow under subsonic,
|
||||
transonic and supersonic regimes.
|
||||
|
||||
Like totalPressure, entrainmentPressure is usually applied in conjunction
|
||||
with the pressureInletOutletVelocity condition for velocity. The
|
||||
entrainmentPressure condition calculates the pressure using a normal
|
||||
velocity, based on the fluxes at the boundary. The totalPressure condition
|
||||
calculates the pressure using the inflow velocity itself.
|
||||
|
||||
With the pressureInletOutletVelocity condition, using the default
|
||||
tangentialVelocity of zero, any inflow velocity is constrained to be
|
||||
normal to the boundary, making the two pressure boundary conditions
|
||||
very similar. The entrainmentPressure condition is, however, more robust
|
||||
because it couples with the flux rather than velocity. The condition
|
||||
performs particularly well at boundaries where the flow direction tends
|
||||
to switch frequently between in and out of the domain.
