Unsteady inlet boundary condition with OpenLabs

sriluta

Hey, I have at my inlet three Boundary conditions that changes with time and the azimuth angle. Arctg (Vt/Vz), Absolute total pressure and the absolute temperature. In the Inlet of my domain, I import the profiles, that changes with the azimuth angle. Now I want to change these profiles with the time too and I need to use OpenLabs for. In the tutotorial of OpenLabs I saw a expression with a sine function ( tutorial 2: customized unsteady Inlet boundary condition), but I don't like to use that. Is it possible to use an array of values ?

For example my time step is 0.000011s. At an azimuth angle of 0 degree I have a total pressure of 1 Bar and the time is 0. At an azimuth angle of 90 degree a have a total pressure of 2 bar and the time is 0.000011s. At an azimuth angle of 180 degree I have a total pressure of 3 bar and the time is 0.000022s and so on, is that possible ? I don't like to use a function here for. 

Iam simulating a stator.. 

greetings Hussein

    Hi Hussein,

    You could use a discrete expression in OpenLabs to define the total pressure and total temperature as a function of time and the azimuthal angle. Are you using OpenLabs in Fidelity or Fine Open? Which version are you using?

    Just to complete, you can search discrete expression on support.cadence.com to find the relevant documentation (Implicit and discrete expressions) for Fidelity or Fine Open.

    Hey, thx for your response. I use now the functions of the fourier series, as functions of the time and the azimuth angle  :), iam using openLabs in Omnis 5.2

    I couldn't find any information related to "discrete expression" on support.cadence.com.

    Did you log in the support portal? The first return of the search should be the answer.

    Alternatively, you can go to Product Manuals -> Silicon-Package-Board Co-Design -> Computational Fluid Dynamics -> Fidelity 2024.2 -> Setting up a simulation -> Optional models -> OpenLabs -> OpenLabs language -> Implicit and discrete expressions
