flow360.Outflow

class Outflow

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(123 * fl.u.lb / fl.u.s)
  ... )
