Class
    Foam::fanPressureFvPatchScalarField
 
Group
    grpInletBoundaryConditions grpOutletBoundaryConditions
 
Description
    This boundary condition can be applied to assign either a pressure inlet
    or outlet total pressure condition for a fan.
 
    The switch nonDimensional can be used for a non-dimensional table. It needs
    inputs rpm and dm of the fan.
 
    The nonDimensional flux for the table is calculate as :
 
        phi = 4.0*mDot/(rho*sqr(PI)*dm^3*omega)
        where:
            dm is the mean diameter.
            omega is rad/sec.
 
    The nonDimensinal pressure :
 
        Psi = 2 deltaP/(rho*(sqr(PI*omega*dm)))
        where:
            deltaP is the pressure drop
 
    The non-dimensional table should be given as Psi = F(phi).
 
Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        file         | fan curve file name     | yes         |
        outOfBounds  | out of bounds handling  | yes         |
        direction    | direction of flow through fan [in/out] | yes |
        p0           | environmental total pressure | yes    |
        nonDimensional | uses non-dimensional table | no | false
        rpm          | fan rpm for non-dimensional table | no | 0.0
        dm           | mean diameter for non-dimensional table | no | 0.0
    \endtable
 
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    inlet
    {
        type            fanPressure;
        file            "fanCurve";
        outOfBounds     clamp;
        direction       in;
        p0              uniform 0;
        value           uniform 0;
    }
 
    outlet
    {
        type            fanPressure;
        file            "fanCurve";
        outOfBounds     clamp;
        direction       out;
        p0              uniform 0;
        value           uniform 0;
    }
