Optional parameters

INFLOW

Set INFLOW=FREE (default) if Eulerian material can flow freely into the Eulerian domain.

Set INFLOW=NONE if neither Eulerian material nor void can flow into the Eulerian domain.

Set INFLOW=VOID if only void can flow into the Eulerian domain.

OP

Set OP=MOD (default) to modify existing inflow/outflow conditions or to define additional inflow/outflow conditions.

Set OP=NEW to remove all existing inflow/outflow conditions.

OUTFLOW

This parameter is used to define boundary conditions in unbounded domain problems.

Set OUTFLOW=FREE (default if INFLOW=VOID) if Eulerian material can flow freely out of the Eulerian domain.

Set OUTFLOW=NONREFLECTING to specify a nonreflecting radiation boundary condition.

Set OUTFLOW=NONUNIFORM PRESSURE to specify an equilibrium condition at the boundary.

Set OUTFLOW=ZERO PRESSURE (default) to specify a zero pressure at the boundary.

  1. Surface name.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define inflow/outflow conditions for different surfaces.
