NSFVMomentumFriction

Implements a basic linear or quadratic friction model as a volumetric force, for example for the X-momentum equation: and for the linear and quadratic models respectively. A linear dependence is expected for laminar flow, while a quadratic dependence is more common for turbulent flow.

  • use_point_neighborsFalseWhether to use point neighbors, which introduces additional ghosting to that used for simple face neighbors.

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Options:

    Description:Whether to use point neighbors, which introduces additional ghosting to that used for simple face neighbors.

Optional Parameters

  • control_tagsAdds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.

    C++ Type:std::vector<std::string>

    Options:

    Description:Adds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.
