Class Foam::Lagrangian::patchInjection Description Patch injection model. This injects particles continuously at a patch with a given number rate. The number rate is a Function1 and can vary with time. Note that this model only controls the number and position of injected Lagrangian particles. All physical properties are specified by corresponding source conditions. So the velocity/direction/angle/etc..., is controlled by the velocity source condition, the size distribution by the diameter source condition, and the flow rate by the number source condition.
