Detailed Description

This boundary condition is applied to the flow velocity, to simulate the opening or closure of a baffle due to local pressure or force changes, by merging the behaviours of wall and cyclic conditions.

The baffle joins two mesh regions, where the open fraction determines the interpolation weights applied to each cyclic- and neighbour-patch contribution. This means that this is boundary condition is meant to be used in an extra wall beyond an existing cyclic patch pair. See PDRMesh for more details.

Once the threshold is crossed, this condition activated and continues to open or close at a fixed rate using

\[ x = x_{old} + s \times \frac{dt}{DT} \]

where

$ x $ = baffle open fraction [0-1]
$ x_{old} $ = baffle open fraction on previous evaluation
$ s $ = sign for orientation: 1 to open or -1 to close
$ dt $ = simulation time step
$ DT $ = time taken to open the baffle

The open fraction is then applied to scale the patch areas.

Usage
Property Description Required Default value
p pressure field name no p
cyclicPatch cyclic patch name yes
orientation 1 to open or -1 to close yes
openFraction current open fraction [0-1] yes
openingTime time taken to open or close the baffle yes
maxOpenFractionDelta max fraction change per timestep yes
minThresholdValue minimum absolute pressure or
force difference for activation yes
forceBased force (true) or pressure-based (false) activation yes

Example of the boundary condition specification:

    <patchName>
    {
        type            activePressureForceBaffleVelocity;
        p               p;
        cyclicPatch     cyclic1;
        orientation     1;
        openFraction    0.2;
        openingTime     5.0;
        maxOpenFractionDelta 0.1;
        minThresholdValue 0.01;
        forceBased      false;
    }

◆ autoMap()

void autoMap ( const fvPatchFieldMapper m)
virtual

Map (and resize as needed) from self given a mapping object.

Used to update fields following mesh topology change

Note: cannot map field from cyclic patch anyway so just recalculate

Areas should be consistent when doing autoMap except in case of topo changes. ! Note: we don't want to use Sf here since triggers rebuilding of /*! fvMesh::S() which will give problems when mapped (since already on new mesh)
