GASP Boundary Condition Information

Fixed at Q

• Sets all the primitive variables using Q source.

1st Order Extrapolation

• Extrapolates all primitive variables.

2nd Order Extrapolation

• Extrapolates all primitive variables.

Riemann Subsonic In/Outflow

• If flow is entering domain (Inflow):
  • Rieman invariants used based on flow direction.
  • Non-equilibrium energy set using Q source.
  • K-Epsilon is set using Q source.
  • K-Omega is extrapolated.
  • Spalart-Allmaras is set to zero.
• If flow is leaving domain (Outflow):
  • Rieman invariants used based on flow direction.
  • Non-equilibrium energy extrapolated.
  • Turbulence variables are extrapolated.

Fixed Mass Flow Subsonic In

• Mass flow is taken from Q source and used to set the flow variables.
• Total temperature is held constant.
• Turbulence models are set as:
  • K-Epsilon is set to Q source.
  • K-Omega is extrapolated.
  • Spalart-Allmaras is set to zero.

PO-TO Subsonic Inflow

• Total pressure and total temperature are held constant, as specified by Q source.
• Turbulence models are set as:
  • K-Epsilon is set to Q source.
  • K-Omega is extrapolated.
  • Spalart-Allmaras is set to zero.

PBack Subsonic Outflow

• Primitive variables are extrapolated except for pressure, which is set according to Q source.

Subsonic PO-To Inflow/Outflow

• Depending on flow direction, either PO-TO Subsonic Inflow or PBack Subsonic Outflow is enforced.

Inflow-Outflow Relax P

• If flow is into domain, flow variables are set to Q source except for pressure, which is extrapolated.
• If flow is out of domain, PBack Subsonic OutFlow is enforced.
• Turbulence models are set as:
  • K-Epsilon is set to Q source for inflow and extrapolated for outflow.
  • K-Omega is extrapolated.
  • Spalart-Allmaras is set to zero for inflow, and extrapolated for outflow.

Forced Outflow

• Enforces the 1st Order Extrapolation boundary condition and forces the velocity to exit the domain (prevents backflow into domain).

Tangency

• Intended for solid wall inviscid surfaces.
• Turbulence variables are extrapolated.

Tangency: Split

• Same as Tangency, except it applies the boundary condition at the ghost cell instead of at the boundary face.

No-Slip Adiabatic

• Viscous solid wall boundary condition which assumes no heat transfer at the wall.
• Turbulence models are set as:
  • K-Epsilon is set according to which type is selected (i.e. Chien sets k and epsilon to 0, while all others set k to 0 and extrapolates epsilon).
  • K-Omega is set according to roughness parameter.
  • Spalart-Allmaras is set to zero.

No-Slip Adiabatic: Split

• Same as No-Slip Adiabatic, except it applies the boundary condition at the ghost cell instead of at the boundary face.

No-Slip T=Twall

• Viscous solid wall boundary condition which sets the wall temperature according to Q source.
• Turbulence models are set as:
  • K-Epsilon is set according to which type is selected (i.e. Chien sets k and epsilon to 0, while all others set k to 0 and extrapolates epsilon).
  • K-Omega is set according to roughness parameter.
  • Spalart-Allmaras is set to zero.

No-Slip T=Twall: Split

• Same as No-Slip T=Twall, except it applies the boundary condition at the ghost cell instead of at the boundary face.
