Detailed Description

This fvModel applies an explicit forcing force to components of the vector field in the direction of gravity. Its intended purpose is to damp the vertical motions of an interface in the region approaching an outlet so that no reflections are generated.

Damping is achieved by applying a force to the momentum equation proportional to the momentum of the flow in the direction of gravity. The constant of proportionality is given by a coefficient $\lambda$ which has units of inverse-time. In the absence of any other forces this would generate an exponential decay of the vertical velocity.

\[ \frac{d (m u_z)}{d t} = - \lambda m u_z \]

\[ u_z = u_{z0} e^{- \lambda t} \]

The coefficient $\lambda$ should be set based on the desired level of forcing and the residence time of a perturbation through the forcing zone. For example, if waves moving at 2 [m/s] are travelling through a forcing zone 8 [m] in length, then the residence time is 4 [s]. If it is deemed necessary to damp for 5 time-scales, then $\lambda$ should be set to equal 5/(4 [s]) = 1.2 [1/s].

Usage
Example usage:
verticalDamping1
{
    type            verticalDamping;

    libs            ("libwaves.so");

    // Define the line along which to apply the graduation
    origin          (1200 0 0);
    direction       (1 0 0);

    // Or, define multiple lines
    // origins         ((1200 0 0) (1200 -300 0) (1200 300 0));
    // directions      ((1 0 0) (0 -1 0) (0 1 0));

    scale
    {
        type        halfCosineRamp;
        start       0;
        duration    600;
    }

    lambda          [0 0 -1 0 0 0 0] 1; // Damping coefficient

    timeStart       0;
    duration        1e6;
}
