Detailed Description

This velocity boundary condition simulates the opening of a baffle due to local flow conditions, by merging the behaviours of wall and cyclic conditions. The baffle joins two mesh regions, where the open fraction determines the interpolation weights applied to each cyclic- and neighbour-patch contribution.

We determine whether the baffle is opening or closing from the sign of the net force across the baffle, from which the baffle open fraction is updated using:

\[ x = x_{old} + sign(F_{net})\frac{dt}{DT} \]

where

\( x \)	=	baffle open fraction [0-1]
\( x_{old} \)	=	baffle open fraction on previous evaluation
\( dt \)	=	simulation time step
\( DT \)	=	time taken to open the baffle
\( F_{net} \)	=	net force across the baffle

The open fraction is then applied to scale the patch areas.

Usage

Property	Description	Required	Default value
`p`	pressure field name	no	p
`cyclicPatch`	cylclic patch name	yes
`orientation`	1 or -1 used to switch flow direction	yes
`openFraction`	current opatch open fraction [0-1]	yes
`openingTime`	time taken to open the baffle	yes
`maxOpenFractionDelta`	max open fraction change per timestep	yes

Example of the boundary condition specification:

    <patchName>
    {
        type            activeBaffleVelocity;
        p               p;
        cyclicPatch     cyclic1;
        orientation     1;
        openFraction    0.2;
        openingTime     5.0;
        maxOpenFractionDelta 0.1;
    }

◆ autoMap()

void autoMap ( const fvPatchFieldMapper & m )

virtual

Map (and resize as needed) from self given a mapping object.

Note: cannot map field from cyclic patch anyway so just recalculate

Areas should be consistent when doing autoMap except in case of topo changes. ! Note: we don't want to use Sf here since triggers rebuilding of /*! fvMesh::S() which will give problems when mapped (since already on new mesh)
