Comments

Provided gas state from stagnation point $(ρ_{stagnation,} P_{stagnation})$ is used to compute inlet gas state.
A set of equations including Total Enthalpy formulation, Adiabatic Law and Equation of State allows for the complete definition of the inlet state:(1)
$\begin{array}{l} ρ_{in} = ρ_{stagnation} \cdot {[1 - \frac{γ - 1}{2 γ} \cdot \frac{ρ_{stagnation}}{P_{stagnation}} \cdot (1 + C_{d}) \cdot v_{in}^{2}]}^{\frac{1}{γ - 1}} \\ P_{in} = P_{stagnation} {(\frac{ρ_{in}}{ρ_{stagnation}})}^{γ} \\ {(ρ e)}_{in} = \frac{P_{in}}{γ - 1} \end{array}$
The P_sh parameter enables shifting the output pressure which also becomes P-P_sh. If using P_sh=P(t=0), the output pressure will be $Δ P$ , with an initial value of 0.0.
If no function is defined, then related quantity $(P_{stagnation}, ρ_{stagnation}, T, or Q)$ remains constant and set to its initial value. However, all input quantities $(P_{stagnation}, ρ_{stagnation}, T, and Q)$ can be defined as time dependent function using provided function identifiers. Abscissa functions can also be scaled using Fscale_T parameter which leads to use f (Fscale_t * t) instead of f(t).
Inlet velocity $v_{in}$ is used in Bernoulli theory.
Discharge coefficient accounts for entry loss and depends on shape orifice.

With thermal modeling, all thermal data ( $T_{0}, ρ_{0} C_{P}$ , ...) can be defined with /HEAT/MAT.
It is not possible to use this boundary material law with multi-material ALE laws 37 (/MAT/LAW37 (BIPHAS)) and 51 (/MAT/LAW51 (MULTIMAT)).
