Class Foam::contactAngleFvPatchScalarField Description General alpha contact angle boundary condition. The essential entry "limit" controls the gradient of alpha1 on the wall: - none - Calculate the gradient from the contact-angle without limiter - gradient - Limit the wall-gradient such that alpha1 remains bounded on the wall - alpha - Bound the calculated alpha1 on the wall - zeroGradient - Set the gradient of alpha1 to 0 on the wall, i.e. reproduce previous behaviour, the pressure BCs can be left as before. Note that if any of the first three options are used the boundary condition on \c p_rgh must set to guarantee that the flux is corrected to be zero at the wall. Usage \table Property | Description | Required | Default value limit | Limiting option | yes | contantAngle | Contact angle model settings | no | none \endtable Example of the boundary condition specification for a constant angle: \verbatim { type contactAngle; limit none; contactAngle { type constant; theta0 70; } } \endverbatim If the contactAngle sub-dictionary is not given, a constant angle will be assumed. Example: \verbatim { type contactAngle; limit none; theta0 70; } \endverbatim See also Foam::contactAngleModel Foam::contactAngleModels::constant Foam::contactAngleModels::dynamic SourceFiles contactAngleFvPatchScalarField.C \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ #ifndef contactAngleFvPatchScalarField_H #define contactAngleFvPatchScalarField_H #include "fixedGradientFvPatchFields.H" #include "contactAngleModel.H" // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // namespace Foam { /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*\ Class contactAngleFvPatchScalarField Declaration \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ class contactAngleFvPatchScalarField : public fixedGradientFvPatchScalarField { public: // Public Enumerations //- Alpha limit options enum limitControls { lcNone, lcGradient, lcZeroGradient, lcAlpha }; //- Alpha limit option names static const NamedEnum limitControlNames_; private: // Private Data //- Equilibrium contact angle function autoPtr contactAngle_; //- Alpha limiting option limitControls limit_; public: //- Runtime type information TypeName("contactAngle"); // Constructors //- Construct from patch, internal field and dictionary contactAngleFvPatchScalarField ( const fvPatch&, const DimensionedField&, const dictionary& ); //- Construct by mapping given contactAngleFvPatchScalarField // onto a new patch contactAngleFvPatchScalarField ( const contactAngleFvPatchScalarField&, const fvPatch&, const DimensionedField&, const fieldMapper& ); //- Disallow copy without setting internal field reference contactAngleFvPatchScalarField ( const contactAngleFvPatchScalarField& ) = delete; //- Copy constructor setting internal field reference contactAngleFvPatchScalarField ( const contactAngleFvPatchScalarField&, const DimensionedField& ); // Member Functions //- Return the cosine of the contact angle tmp cosTheta ( const fvPatchVectorField& Up, const vectorField& nHat ) const; //- Evaluate the patch field virtual void evaluate ( const Pstream::commsTypes commsType=Pstream::commsTypes::blocking ); //- Write virtual void write(Ostream&) const; // Member Operators //- Inherit assignment using fixedGradientFvPatchScalarField::operator=; }; // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // } // End namespace Foam // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // #endif // ************************************************************************* //
