This addition allows for theoretical wave models to be utilised for
initialisation and as boundary conditions. Multiple models can be used
simultaneously, each with differing phases and orientations. If multiple
models are used the shapes and velocities are superimposed.
The wave models are specified in the velocity boundary condition. The
phase fraction boundary condition and the set utility both look up the
velocity condition in order to access the wave model. A velocity
boundary may be specified as follows:
inlet
{
type waveVelocity;
origin (0 0 0);
direction (1 0 0);
speed 2;
waves
(
Airy
{
length 300;
amplitude 2.5;
depth 150;
phase 0;
angle 0;
}
);
scale table ((1200 1) (1800 0));
crossScale constant 1;
}
The alpha boundary only requires the type, unless the name of the
velocity field is non-standard, in which case a "U" entry will also be
needed. The setWaves utility does not require a dictionary file; non-
standard field names can be specified as command-line arguments.
Wave models currently available are Airy (1st order) and Stokes2 (second
order). If a depth is specified, and it is not too large, then shallow
terms will be included, otherwise the models assume that the liquid is
deep.
