Description
This fvModel applies forcing to the liquid phase-fraction field and all
components of the vector field to relax the fields towards those
calculated from the current wave distribution.
The force coefficient \f$\lambda\f$ should be set based on the desired level
of forcing and the residence time the waves through the forcing zone. For
example, if waves moving at 2 [m/s] are travelling through a forcing zone 8
[m] in length, then the residence time is 4 [s]. If it is deemed necessary
to force for 5 time-scales, then \f$\lambda\f$ should be set to equal 5/(4
[s]) = 1.2 [1/s]. If more aggressive forcing is required adjacent to the
boundaries, which is often the case if wave boundary conditions are
specified at outflow boundaries, the optional \f$\lambdaBoundary\f$
coefficient can be specified higher than the value of \f$\lambda\f$.
Alternatively the forcing force coefficient \f$\lambdaCoeff\f$ can be
specified in which case \f$\lambda\f$ is evaluated by multiplying the
maximum wave speed by \f$\lambdaCoeff\f$ and dividing by the forcing region
length. \f$\lambdaBoundary\f$ is similarly evaluated from
\f$\lambdaBoundaryCoeff\f$ if specified.
