FREEFOAM-APPLYBOUNDARYLAYER(1) FreeFOAM Manual FREEFOAM-APPLYBOUNDARYLAYER(1)

NAME

freefoam-applyBoundaryLayer - Apply a simplified boundary-layer model to the velocity and turbulence fields based on the 1/7th power-law.

SYNOPSIS

freefoam applyBoundaryLayer [-ybl <scalar>] [-Cbl <scalar>] [-help] [-srcDoc] [-doc] [-writenut] [-parallel] [-case <dir>]

DESCRIPTION

The uniform boundary-layer thickness is either provided via the -ybl option or calculated as the average of the distance to the wall scaled with the thickness coefficient supplied via the option -Cbl. If both options are provided -ybl is used.

OPTIONS

-case <dir>
Case directory.
-parallel
Run in parallel.
-help
Display help message.
-doc
Display Doxygen API documentation page for this application.
-srcDoc
Display Doxygen source documentation page for this application.
-writenut
Output turbulent viscosity.
-Cbl <scalar>
Coefficient for scaling of the average distance from the wall.
-ybl <scalar>
Specify the uniform boundary layer thickness.
