Detailed Description

This boundary condition is designed to be used in conjunction with surface film modelling. It provides a velocity inlet boundary condition for patches where the film height is specified. The inflow velocity is obtained from the flux with a direction normal to the patch faces using:

\[ U_p = \frac{n \phi}{\rho |Sf| \delta} \]

where

$ U_p $ = patch velocity [m/s]
$ n $ = patch normal vector
$ \phi $ = mass flux [kg/s]
$ \rho $ = density [kg/m3]
$ Sf $ = patch face area vectors [m2]
$ \delta $ = film height [m]
Usage
Property Description Required Default value
phi Flux field name no phi
rho density field name no rho
deltaf height field name no deltaf

Example of the boundary condition specification:

    <patchName>
    {
        type            filmHeightInletVelocity;
        phi             phi;
        rho             rho;
        deltaf          deltaf;
        value           uniform (0 0 0); // initial velocity / [m/s]
    }
