Outflow

Outflow#

class Outflow[source]#

Bases: BoundaryBase

Outflow defines the outflow boundary condition based on the input spec.

Example

  • Define outflow boundary condition with pressure:

    >>> fl.Outflow(
...     surfaces=volume_mesh["fluid/outlet"],
...     spec=fl.Pressure(value = 0.99e6 * fl.u.Pa)
... )

  • Define outflow boundary condition with Mach number:

    >>> fl.Outflow(
...     surfaces=volume_mesh["fluid/outlet"],
...     spec=fl.Mach(value = 0.2)
... )

  • Define outflow boundary condition with mass flow rate:

    >>> fl.Outflow(
...     surfaces=volume_mesh["fluid/outlet"],
...     spec=fl.MassFlowRate(value = 123 * fl.u.lb / fl.u.s)
... )
