Return Value

auxdata (Real*)

Pointer to three dimensional real array of the requested data at the auxiliary nodes. The dimensions of the array depend on dataName as follows. nAuxs is the number of auxiliary nodes. If either the second or third dimension is one, then the array may be treated as two dimensional. If both are one, then the array may be treated as one dimensional.

Description

This routine returns the requested nodal solution data at the auxiliary nodes. For example,
Real* auxData ;
Real u, v, w ;
Real spec ;
Integer node, nSpecs, specId ;
...
udfCheckNbcNumAuxs( udfHd, 1 ) ;
auxData = udfGetNbcAuxData( udfHd, UDF_NBC_VELOCITY ) ;
for ( node = 0 ; node < nItems ; node++ ) {
  u = auxData[0*nItems+node] ;
  v = auxData[1*nItems+node] ; 
  w = auxData[2*nItems+node] ;
  ...
}
...
auxData = udfGetNbcAuxData( udfHd, UDF_NBC_SPECIES ) ;
nSpecs = udfGetNumSpecs( udfHd ) ;
for ( specId = 0 ; specId < nSpecs ; specId++ ) {
  for ( node = 0 ; node < nItems ; node++ ) {
     spec = auxData[specId*nItems+node] ;
     ...
  }
}

The quantities UDF_NBC_TURBULENCE_Y and UDF_NBC_TURBULENCE_YPLUS are based on the distance to the nearest turbulence wall. These are defined by TURBULENCE_WALL and SIMPLE_BOUNDARY_CONDITIONtype=wall commands. UDF_NBC_TURBULENCE_YPLUS also uses the shear at these walls.

Errors

  • This routine expects a valid udfHd.
  • This routine may only be called within an Nodal Boundary Condition user function.
  • dataName must be one of the values given above.
  • The problem must contain the equation associated with the requested data.
  • The corresponding command must have a valid auxiliary_nodes parameter.
