This is useful when applying an experimentally obtained profile as an
inlet condition:
Example of the boundary condition specification:
\verbatim
myPatch
{
type fixedProfile;
profile csvFile;
profileCoeffs
{
nHeaderLine 0; // Number of header lines
refColumn 0; // Reference column index
componentColumns (1 2 3); // Component column indices
separator ","; // Optional (defaults to ",")
mergeSeparators no; // Merge multiple separators
fileName "Uprofile.csv"; // name of csv data file
outOfBounds clamp; // Optional out-of-bounds handling
interpolationScheme linear; // Optional interpolation scheme
}
direction (0 1 0);
origin 0;
}
\endverbatim
or a simple polynomial profile:
Example setting a parabolic inlet profile for the PitzDaily case:
\verbatim
inlet
{
type fixedProfile;
profile polynomial
(
((1 0 0) (0 0 0))
((-6200 0 0) (2 0 0))
);
direction (0 1 0);
origin 0.0127;
}
\endverbatim
