Detailed Description

Applies buoyancy force sources (i.e. Sf) to the momentum equation for incompressible and compressible flows.

\[ S_f = \rho \vec{g} \]

where

\( S_f \) = Buoyancy force source term
\( \rho \) = Fluid density
\( \vec{g} \) = Gravitational acceleration field

Sources applied to:

      U         | Velocity                                   [m/s]

Required fields:

      U         | Velocity                                   [m/s]
Usage
Minimal example by using constant/fvOptions:
buoyancyForce1
{
    // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
    type             buoyancyForce;
    fields           (U);

    // Mandatory/Optional (inherited) entries
    ...
}

where the entries mean:

Property Description Type Reqd Dflt
type Type name: buoyancyEnergy word yes -
fields Name of operand vector field word yes -

The inherited entries are elaborated in:

Note
  • The entry fields accepts only a single vector field name.
