Parabolic boundary condition [codedFixedValue]

Tutorial link: YouTube Video

Description: In this tutorial, you will learn how to give a parabolic inlet velocity at inlet using codedFixedValue boundary feature in OpenFOAM.

Points covered:

  • How to use codedFixedValue boundary to apply custom expression at a boundary
  • How to add a expression which is spatially varying
  • How to create parabolic inlet velocity for a 3D pipe

Heat Flux boundary condition [externalWallHeatFluxTemperature]

Tutorial link: YouTube Video

Description: In this video, You will learn how to set heat flux boundary condition at external wall in OpenFOAM.

Apply heat flux using these 4 options:

  • Using Heat Flux
  • Using Power
  • Using Heat Transfer Coefficient & Ambient Temperature
  • Using Gradient of Heat Flux and Thermal Conductivity
