Open Boundary
At the open boundary both inflow and outflow conditions are supported. For an outgoing fluid flow across the boundary, it applies a zero conductive flux condition:
(3-1)
For an incoming flow of velocity field u across the boundary, it accounts by default for the heat flux induced by the flow rate through a Danckwerts condition on the enthalpy:
(3-2)
where ΔH is the sensible enthalpy. See Theory for the Open Boundary Condition for more details on the Danckwerts condition and the definition of ΔH.
Upstream Properties
The conditions is based on the knowledge of the upstream temperature at the outer boundary of the virtual domain. Enter the Upstream temperature Tustr outside the open boundary.
