For example in the new tutorial case:
tutorials/incompressible/pimpleFoam/laminar/pitzDailyPulse
a cosine bell velocity pulse is specified at the inlet by directly defining the
code for it:
inlet
{
type uniformFixedValue;
uniformValue coded;
name pulse;
codeInclude
#{
#include "mathematicalConstants.H"
#};
code
#{
return vector
(
0.5*(1 - cos(constant::mathematical::twoPi*min(x/0.3, 1))),
0,
0
);
#};
}
which is then compiled automatically and linked into the running pimpleFoam
dynamically and executed to set the inlet velocity.
