Description
Applies a flow velocity boundary condition to a face in 3D or to an edge in 2D.
Usage
- Click on or choose Model → Fluid Constraints → Constraint flow velocity from the top menu
- The task panel for constraint flow velocity appears
- Select the target Edges or Faces
- Click Add
- Untick "unspecified" to activate the necessary fields for edition
- Fill in the values in mm/s for the main cartesian components
Notes
- Vector components that are ticked as "unspecified" will be interpolated by the selected solver.
- Any vector that should be the result of the solver must be ticked as "unspecified".
- If the target face or edge is not aligned with the main cartesian coordinate system, it is possible to tick "normal to boundary".
- If "normal to boundary" is ticked, the normal vector to the selected edge or face is X and it will be oriented away from the mesh domain.
- For example, if a flow of 20 mm/s of air must enter the domain, then after ticking "normal to boundary" the user will have to input -20 mm/s in the "velocity X" field.
- If "normal to boundary" is ticked, the normal vector to the selected edge or face is X and it will be oriented away from the mesh domain.
