#include <finiteVolume/timeVaryingFlowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField.H>

Detailed Description

A time-varying form of a flow normal vector boundary condition.

Example of the boundary condition specification:

inlet
{
typetimeVaryingFlowRateInletVelocity;
flowRate0.2; // Volumetric/mass flow rate [m3/s or kg/s]
value   uniform (0 0 0);  // placeholder
fileName"$FOAM_CASE/time-series";
outOfBounds repeat;   // (error|warn|clamp|repeat)
}

Note:

The value is positive inwards
may not work correctly for transonic inlets!
strange behaviour with potentialFoam since the U equation is not solved
