Description
Applies a flow velocity as boundary condition to an edge in 2D or to a face in 3D.
Constraint flow velocity menus within the task panel
Usage
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the FEM ConstraintFlowVelocity button.
- Select the Model → Fluid Constraints → Constraint flow velocity option from the menu.
- The task panel will display menus for constraint flow velocity
- Select the target Edges or Faces.
- Press the Add button.
- Deselect "unspecified" to activate the necessary fields for edition.
- Fill in the values in mm/s for the main Cartesian components.
Notes
- Any vector component that should be the result of the solver must be set as Unspecified.
- If the target face or edge is not aligned with the main Cartesian coordinate system, it is possible to set the option Normal to boundary.
- If Normal to boundary is checked, 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 should enter the domain, then with Normal to boundary one must input -20 mm/s in the Velocity x field.
- For a wall with non-slip condition, set all velocity components to 0.
- For a symmetry condition, set the the flow to 0, Unspecified, Unspecified) if Normal to boundary is checked.
