Name

Floating (FloatBC) — Fix the values of Fields on the boundary, up to an unspecified offset.

Synopsis

FloatBC(field,field_component,equation,eqn_component,profile,boundary)

Details

  • Base class: BC

  • Parameters:

    field
    Type: A Field object.
    field_component
    Type: A character string representing a field or flux index (eg, 'x').
    equation
    Type: An Equation object which can be used in boundary conditions.
    eqn_component
    Type: A character string representing a field or flux index (eg, 'x').
    profile
    Profile describing how this condition varies in space. Type: An object of the ProfileX class.
    boundary
    Boundary to which this condition applies. Type: The name of a point or edge boundary in a mesh.

Description

Floating boundary conditions set the values of Fields on a boundary, up to an unspecified offset. Field values on the boundary can change, but Field differences between two points on the boundary will stay fixed. A separate boundary condition must be established for each component of a Field that is to be constrained. Floating boundary conditions may be applied to both Edge and Point boundaries.

The parameters for floating boundary conditions are the same as those for Dirichlet boundary conditions. See that discussion for details.
