OpenFOAM - Power Law boundary inlet velocity condition

Power Law boundary inlet velocity condition

Hello,

I am interested in defining an inlet velocity as U = Umax * ( 1-r/R) ^ 7 for a pipe flow. (Here r is the y co-ordinate). Which boundary condition can I use? Can someone provide an example?

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thank you,

Vaishali.

Hi Vaishali,
The codedFixedValue boundary condition in OpenFOAM should be it. You can check the below link for an example of codedFixedValue BC.

The Power Law boundary inlet velocity condition is a high-order pressure drop and low inlet velocity for the flow of an incompressible fluid. This condition is used in many applications such as gas turbine engines and rocket engines where the inlet gases are incompressible. You need to get more to get knowledge about beating a DUI.The power law boundary inlet velocity condition is used to predict the airflow velocity at a boundary between two regions.
