Also added the new prghTotalHydrostaticPressure p_rgh BC which uses the
hydrostatic pressure field as the reference state for the far-field
which provides much more accurate entrainment is large open domains
typical of many fire simulations.
The hydrostatic field solution is controlled by the optional entries in
the fvSolution.PIMPLE dictionary, e.g.
hydrostaticInitialization yes;
nHydrostaticCorrectors 5;
and the solver must also be specified for the hydrostatic p_rgh field
ph_rgh e.g.
ph_rgh
{
$p_rgh;
}
Suitable boundary conditions for ph_rgh cannot always be derived from
those for p_rgh and so the ph_rgh is read to provide them.
To avoid accuracy issues with IO, restart and post-processing the p_rgh
and ph_rgh the option to specify a suitable reference pressure is
provided via the optional pRef file in the constant directory, e.g.
dimensions [1 -1 -2 0 0 0 0];
value 101325;
which is used in the relationship between p_rgh and p:
p = p_rgh + rho*gh + pRef;
Note that if pRef is specified all pressure BC specifications in the
p_rgh and ph_rgh files are relative to the reference to avoid round-off
errors.
For examples of suitable BCs for p_rgh and ph_rgh for a range of
fireFoam cases please study the tutorials in
tutorials/combustion/fireFoam/les which have all been updated.

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.
