Hi Mohammadali,

In the velocity correction scheme you have to specify boundary conditions for both pressure and velocity.

An example of the type of boundary condition you wish to impose can be found in the IncNavierStokesSolver regression tests. Please have a look at

$NEKTAR/solvers/IncNavierStokesSolver/Tests/ChanFlow_m3.xml 

where $NEKTAR is where you have installed the codes. You will see there is a boundary condition of the form.

           <REGION REF="2">
                <N VAR="u" VALUE="0" />
                <N VAR="v" VALUE="0" />
                <D VAR="p" VALUE="0" />
            </REGION>
 

Cheers,
Spencer.

Dear Nektar++ Developers,

 

We are going to use a Traction-Free boundary condition as an outflow in our simulation. In addition, we intend to use “Velocity Correction Scheme” of “Incompressible Navier-Stokes Solver”. As far as we know, the Traction-Free boundary condition contains two parts which should be satisfied simultaneously: zero velocity gradient and zero pressure. Based on the scheme we are going to use, we are wondering if you could tell us if it is necessary to implement both conditions in Nektar++ or we just need to set zero pressure condition alone.

 

Kind Regards

Mohammadali Alidoost
