LinearFVAdvectionDiffusionOutflowBC

Description

LinearFVAdvectionDiffusionOutflowBC will contribute to the system matrix and right hand side of a linear finite volume system. The contributions can be derived using the integral of the advective flux over a boundary face () of a boundary element:

where , and are the outlet face velocity, outward pointing surface vector and the surface area,

The value of can be computed two different ways depending on the setting of the "use_two_term_expansion" parameter. When the two-term expansion is enabled the face value is approximated as:

where and are the solution value and gradient in the boundary cell, while is the vector pointing to the face center from the boundary cell centroid. When "use_two_term_expansion" is disabled the following first-order approximation is used:

commentnote

This boundary condition should only be used for problems which involve advection and/or diffusion problems.
