The Fidelity PBS solver uses an OpenFOAM-based format, but uses a different set of boundary condition types. Refer to the table below for information on the boundary conditions types available for the Fidelity PBS format.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| inlet | Boundary type for any inflow boundary condition (e.g. fixed mass, fixed velocity, inlet total pressure, etc.). |
| outlet | Boundary type for any outflow boundary conditions (e.g. fixed mass, fixed pressure, average pressure, etc.). |
| wall | Boundary type for slip and no-slip boundary conditions for wall surfaces. |
| wall_solid | Boundary type for wall boundaries in solid domains for temperature and heat flux boundary conditions. |
| opening | Boundary type for open domains where both inflow and outflow can occur at the same time. |
| symmetry | Boundary type for symmetry boundary conditions. |
| cyclicAMI | Multiple mesh interfaces (MMI) boundary type to connect multiple volumes for fluid-to-fluid, fluid-to-solid, and solid-to-solid connections. |
| mixingPlane | Boundary type for mixing-state based boundary conditions. |
| farfield | Boundary type for compressible external aerodynamics boundaries with non-reflecting farfield behavior. |
| freestream | Boundary type for incompressible external aerodynamics boundaries with non-reflecting farfield behavior. |
This CAE format supports exporting voxel cells as polyhedra. For more information on this topic, see the Poly-Voxel Export Options section of this User Manual.
