which allows lambda to set higher in the cells adjacent to the boundary which is particularly useful when solving for waves in a domain with no mean-flow and wave BCs to avoid numerical stability problems where the specified wave flow reverses into the domain. The alternative is to use symmetry rather than wave BCs on the side patches which is stable without using lambdaBoundary but there is modest distortion of the wave profile adjacent to the side patches which does not propagate into the domain due to the wave forcing.

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.
