Class
    Foam::emptyLagrangianPatchField
 
Description
    An empty boundary condition for Lagrangian. This is used for the patches
    that have normals that point outside of the space of the reduced
    dimensionality; e.g., the front and back planes of a two-dimensional slab.
 
    This operates in a manner identical to a symmetry condition. Properties are
    transformed to represent an identical element entering the domain with an
    opposite normal velocity and other vector and tensor quantities
    transformed.
 
    Whether or not this is actually used is a matter for the cloud model. If
    the cloud model is also of reduced dimensionality and only moves in the
    two-dimensional plane or the one-dimensional line, then the elements will
    never track into the empty patches and this condition will never be used.
    If, on the other hand, the cloud model is still considered
    three-dimensional even when the Eulerian modelling is of reduced
    dimensionality, then the empty patches will be interacted with and this
    condition will be used.
 
Usage
    Example specification:
    \verbatim
    <LagrangianPatchName>
    {
        type            empty;
    }
    \endverbatim
