This fvModel applies a volume source to the continuity equation and to
all field equations. It can be applied to incompressible solvers, such
as incompressibleFluid and incompressibleVoF. For compressible solvers,
use the massSource model instead.
If the volumetric flow rate is positive then user-supplied fixed
property values are introduced to the field equations. If the volumetric
flow rate is negative then properties are removed at their current
value.
Example usage:
volumeSource
{
type volumeSource;
select cellSet;
cellSet volumeSource;
volumetricFlowRate 1e-4;
fieldValues
{
U (10 0 0);
k 0.375;
epsilon 14.855;
}
}
If the volumetric flow rate is positive then values should be provided
for all solved for fields. Warnings will be issued if values are not
provided for fields for which transport equations are solved. Warnings
will also be issued if values are provided for fields which are not
solved for.

About OpenFOAM
OpenFOAM is a free, open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package released by the OpenFOAM Foundation. It has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organisations. OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics.
