A wavePressure boundary condition has been added, and the Airy-type wave
models have been extended to generate the unsteady pressure field. This
provides another option for specifying wave motion at a boundary.
If a waveVelocity condition is used in isolation, then any outlet flow
will be extrapolated and scaled to match the required flow rate. This is
similar to how a flowRateOutletVelocity condition works.
0/U:
<patchName>
{
type waveVelocity;
// wave parameters ...
}
0/p_rgh:
<patchName>
{
type fixedFluxPressure;
}
If a waveVelocity is used in conjunction with the new wavePressure
condition, then one will set the value and the other the gradient, as
appropriate for the direction of the flow.
0/U:
<patchName>
{
type waveVelocity;
// wave parameters ...
p p_rgh;
}
0/p_rgh:
<patchName>
{
type wavePressure;
}
This new pressure-velocity formulation is less stable, but generates
more accurate waveforms on patches where the velocity reverses. It is
also necessary for sub-surface cases where fixing the velocity around
the entire domain generates a continuity error.

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.
