1 Boundary conditions
1.1 Neumann boudary condition vs Dirichlet BC
for Neumann BC, the normal derivative of a variable is prescribed For, Dirichlet BC, the value of a variable ( velocity, pressure, etc_ is prescribed
1.2 wall
1.3 inlet
1.4 outlet
1.5 symmetry
1.5.1 properties
- zero normal velocity at a symmetry plane
- zero normal gradients of all variables at a symmetry plane
- no convective flux
- no diffusion flux
1.6 periodic
1.7 outflow
- outflow BC
- the detail of the flow velocity and pressure are not known
- (no term)
- A zero diffusion flux for all flow variables.
- (no term)
- An overall mass balance correction.
- (no term)
- flow is assumed as fully-developed
- (no term)
- no any conditions at outflow boundaries
- (no term)
- the outflow information is extrapolated from the interior
limits: if the flow may produce a recirculation at the outlet or if the flow field is not stable and fully developed at the outlet, then a pressure outlet boundary condition is preferred.
