Writing new boundary conditions in OpenFOAM

This tutorial gives you an extensive walkthough of the implementation of a custom boundary condition. You will see the main steps and compile the code in order to run a case, where you utilize the boundary condition. The topics covered are:

• classes in OpenFOAM
• polymorphism
• runtime selection
• boundary conditions
• testing

You can download the code and case files here.
