- fluid_propertiesThe name of the user object for fluid properties
C++ Type:UserObjectName
Controllable:No
Description:The name of the user object for fluid properties
- initial_pressureThe initial pressure, assumed constant everywhere
C++ Type:double
Controllable:No
Description:The initial pressure, assumed constant everywhere
- initial_temperatureThe initial temperature, assumed constant everywhere
C++ Type:double
Controllable:No
Description:The initial temperature, assumed constant everywhere
- variableThe variable this initial condition is supposed to provide values for.
C++ Type:VariableName
Controllable:No
Description:The variable this initial condition is supposed to provide values for.
PNSInitialCondition
PNSInitialCondition
can be used to initialize variables by evaluating fluid properties for porous flow calculations. It can accept both interstitial and superficial velocities for initializing superficial or interstitial velocity variables and energy.
Example input file syntax
In this example, we initialize the first component of the superficial momentum with a specified superficial velocity. The superficial velocity is specified as a vector. We could have alternatively specified an interstitial velocity and the porosity.

fluid_properties = 'fp'
initial_pressure = ${p_initial}
initial_temperature = ${T}
initial_superficial_velocity = '1 0.2 18'
