grpInletBoundaryConditions
Description
This boundary condition generates a fluctuating inlet condition by adding
a random component to a reference (mean) field.
This boundary condition produces spatiotemporal-variant field by summing
a set of pseudo-random numbers and a given spatiotemporal-invariant mean
field. The field can be any type, e.g. scalarField. At a single point and
time, all components are summed by the same random number, e.g. velocity
components (u, v, w) are summed by the same random number, p; thus, output
is (u+p, v+p, w+p).
The pseudo-random number generator obeys the probability density function
of the uniform distribution constrained by the range [0:1]. The seed for
the random number generator is hard-coded; therefore, it will produce the
same sequence of random numbers at every execution.

x_p = (1 - \alpha) x_p^{n-1} + \alpha (x_{ref} + s C_{RMS} x_{ref})
x_p = (1 - \alpha) x_p^{n - 1} + \alpha (x_{ref} + c s R |x_{ref}|)

where
\vartable
x_p | patch values
x_{ref} | reference patch values
x_p | patch field
x_{ref} | spatiotemporal-invariant patch scalar
n | time level
\alpha | fraction of new random component added to previous time value
C_{RMS} | RMS coefficient
s | fluctuation scale
\alpha | a scalar attempting to build two-temporal-point correlations
by heuristically adding a fraction of the new random component
to the previous time patch field
c | a heuristic automatically calculated correction term
to compensate energy level losses due to the alpha scalar
R | pseudo-random number [HARD-CODED seed]
s | fluctuation scale (proportional to the xRef)
\endvartable
Usage
\table
Property | Description | Required | Default value
Property | Description | Required | Default value
fluctuationScale | RMS fluctuation scale (fraction of mean) | yes |
referenceField | reference (mean) field | yes |
alpha | fraction of new random component added to previous| no| 0.1
referenceField | reference (mean) field | yes |
alpha | fraction of new random component added to previous | no | 0.1
\endtable
Example of the boundary condition specification:
\verbatim
<patchName>
{
type turbulentInlet;
fluctuationScale 0.1;
referenceField uniform 10;
alpha 0.1;
// Mandatory entries
type turbulentInlet;
fluctuationScale 0.1; // the term `s` above
referenceField uniform 10; // the term `xRef` above
// Optional entries
alpha 0.1; // the term `alpha` above
}
\endverbatim

Note
This boundary condition should not be used for DES or LES computations as a
turbulent velocity inflow condition, because the BC will not produce
turbulence-alike time-series, and will decay almost immediately downstream
of the inlet boundary although its historical name suggests the opposite.
Nevertheless, the BC may be still used for other applications, e.g. as a
uniform-random noise source in aeroacoustics.
