INSFVMomentumBoussinesq
This object adds a term to the incompressible Navier Stokes (INS) equations where is the density, is the thermal expansion coefficient, is the gravity vector, is the temperature, and is a reference temperature. The term above introduces the Boussinesq approximation into the INS equations, which allows for modeling natural convection.
Input Parameters
- alpha_namealphaThe name of the thermal expansion coefficientthis is of the form rho = rho*(1-alpha (T-T_ref))
Default:alpha
C++ Type:MaterialPropertyName
Description:The name of the thermal expansion coefficientthis is of the form rho = rho*(1-alpha (T-T_ref))
- blockThe list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied
C++ Type:std::vector<SubdomainName>
Description:The list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied
- ghost_layers1The number of layers of elements to ghost.
Default:1
C++ Type:unsigned short
Description:The number of layers of elements to ghost.
- prop_getter_suffixAn optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.
C++ Type:MaterialPropertyName
Description:An optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.
- use_point_neighborsFalseWhether to use point neighbors, which introduces additional ghosting to that used for simple face neighbors.
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Description:Whether to use point neighbors, which introduces additional ghosting to that used for simple face neighbors.
Optional Parameters

Description:Determines whether this object is calculated using an implicit or explicit form
- use_displaced_meshFalseWhether or not this object should use the displaced mesh for computation. Note that in the case this is true but no displacements are provided in the Mesh block the undisplaced mesh will still be used.
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Description:Whether or not this object should use the displaced mesh for computation. Note that in the case this is true but no displacements are provided in the Mesh block the undisplaced mesh will still be used.
