Qualifier
User-given name.
Parameters
- type (enumerated) [=value]
- Type of the boundary condition imposition.
- value
- Field nodal values.
- flux
- Field volume fraction flux values. Valid only for multi_field= eulerian_eulerian.
- value (real) [=0.0]
- Field nodal values to be imposed on nodes associated with surface elements referred to in SIMPLE_BOUNDARY_CONDITION. For multi_field=levelset, algebraic_eulerian, eulerian_eulerian, field volume fraction should be provided. However, for multi_field=advective_diffusive, the mass fraction value of the field should be given.
- flux (real) [=0.0]
- Field volume fraction flux to be imposed on surface elements referred to in SIMPLE_BOUNDARY_CONDITION. Valid only for multi_field= eulerian_eulerian and needed for dispersed field. For fluidization type problems, the flux value for solid phase should be set to zero in the inlet.
- field (string) [no default]
- Name of the field that value or flux is associated with. Field should be an active field in the problem. This should be given for all multi_field types.
- multiplier_function (string) [=none]
- User-given name of the multiplier function for scaling the boundary condition values. If none, no scaling is performed.
- phasic_inflow_type (enumerated) [=cartesian_velocity]
- Type of the inflow phasic velocity boundary conditions. Used with
multi_field= eulerian_eulerian

- cartesian_velocity
- Velocity in cartesian coordinates. Requires x_velocity, y_velocity, and z_velocity.
- cylindrical_velocity
