Class
    Foam::swirlFlowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField
 
Description
    Velocity inlet boundary condition creating a normal velocity field to match
    the specified mass or volumetric flow rate, and radial and tangential
    velocity fields specified by functions of time and radius or by a given
    angular speed.
 
    For a mass-based flux:
    - the flow rate should be provided in kg/s
    - if \c rho is "none" the flow rate is in m3/s
    - otherwise \c rho should correspond to the name of the density field
    - if the density field cannot be found in the database, the user must
      specify the inlet density using the \c rhoInlet entry
 
    For a volumetric-based flux:
    - the flow rate is in m3/s
 
Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        origin       | Origin of rotation      | no          | patch centre
        axis         | Axis of rotation        | no          | patch normal
        massFlowRate | Mass flow rate [kg/s]   | no          |
        volumetricFlowRate | Volumetric flow rate [m^3/s] | no |
        rho          | Density field name      | no          | rho
        rhoInlet     | Inlet density           | no          |
        radialVelocity | Radial velocity [m/s] | yes         |
        omega        | Angular velocity of the frame | no |
        tangentialVelocity | Tangential velocity [m/s] | no  |
    \endtable
 
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            swirlFlowRateInletVelocity;
        origin          (0 0 0);
        axis            (0 0 1);
        volumetricFlowRate constant 0.2;
        radialVelocity  constant 10;
        omega           constant 100 [rpm];
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    The \c volumetricFlowRate or \c massFlowRate and the \c omega entries are
    \c Function1 of time, see Foam::Function1s. The \c radialVelocity and
    \c tangentialVelocity entries are \c Function2 of time and radius,
    see Foam::Function2s.
 
    Note:
      - \c rhoInlet is required for the case of a mass flow rate, where the
        density field is not available at start-up
      - The value is positive into the domain (as an inlet)
      - May not work correctly for transonic inlets
      - Strange behaviour with potentialFoam since the U equation is not solved
