Comments

  1. Input is general, no prior assumptions are enforced! You must verify that the elementary boundaries are consistent with general assumptions of ALE (equation closure).
  2. It is not advised to use the Hydrodynamic Bi-material Liquid Gas Law (/MAT/LAW37 (BIPHAS)) with the elementary boundary conditions.
  3. Density, pressure, energy are imposed according to a scale factor and a time function. If the function number is 0, the imposed density, pressure and energy are used.
  4. All EBCS which type is less tha four or equal to six are non-reflective frontiers (NRF), using:
    (1)
    P t = ρ c V n t + c ( P P ) l c

    Pressure in the far field P is imposed with a function of time. The transient pressure is derived from P , the local velocity field V and the normal of the outlet facet.

    Where, l c is the characteristic length, to compute cutoff frequency f c as:(2)
    f c = c 2 π . l c
  5. In order to impose a positive velocity fct_IDvim (for instance 15 m/s), you must input -fct_IDvim (for instance -15 m/s).
  6. A resistance pressure is computed and added to the current pressure.(3)
    P r e s = r 1 V n + r 2 V n | V n |

    It aims at modeling the friction loss due to the valves.
