patchEventFile class

Description

Event file handler/reader for the porousMultiphaseFoam toolbox which contains m dates with n flow rate values expressed in m3/s and attributed to a given patch name. Flow rate source terms are equally distributed over the surface of the given patch. Intermediate values are computed by linear interpolation between times. Flow rates before time1 and after timem is equal to 0.

Format

The class reads the file :

date time1
patchName1 sourceTerm11
patchName2 sourceTerm12
...
patchNamen sourceTerm1n
date time2
patchName1 sourceTerm21
patchName2 sourceTerm22
...
date timem
...
patchNamen sourceTermmn

Usage

This class is used by eventFlux and eventInfiltration boundary conditions.
