Detailed Description

The derived class from boundary to apply mixed boundary condition involving a heated plate for a cell-centered variable.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

hotPlateCC()

hotPlateCC::hotPlateCC	(	const grid &	mesh,
		field &	inField,
		const int	bcWall,
		const real	plateRad
	)

Constructor of the hotPlateCC class.

     The constructor initializes the base boundary class using part of the arguments supplied to it.
     The radius of the heating plate, denoted by patchRadius, is also set in the initialization list.

Parameters

mesh	is a const reference to the global data contained in the grid class
inField	is a reference to scalar field to which the boundary conditions must be applied.
bcWall	is a const integer which specifies the wall to which the BC must be applied.
plateRad	is the const real value of the radius of the heating plate.

Member Function Documentation

imposeBC()

void hotPlateCC::imposeBC ( )

virtual

Function to impose Mixed BC of a heating plate on a cell centered variable.

     For Saras solver, the wall passes through the cell centers of the variables.
     Hence the variable is lying on the wall for this case.
     Accordingly the value of the variable is directly set to 1.0 on the conducting sections of the wall.
     At the rest of the wall, Neumann BC is imposed using a boolean wallMask variable.

Reimplemented from boundary.
