Abstract

This chapter reviews the implementation of boundary conditions in OpenFOAM® and uFVM. Details on the data structure needed for their implementation are presented along with information on how to add new boundary conditions. The procedure is illustrated through the implementation of the no-slip wall boundary condition. This is shown to differ from the Dirichlet type currently implemented in OpenFOAM®.
