fluid resistance

Module: fluid

Category: bc

Type string: "fluid resistance"

Parameters

Name Description Default Units
R R 0 [F.t/L^5]
pressure_offset pressure_offset 0 [P]

Description

In a fluid, fluid-FSI or fluid-solutes analysis, this boundary condition prescribes an elastic pressure \(p=R\,q+p_{d}\) on a surface, where R is the flow resistance and q is the volumetric flow rate across the surface (calculated internally); \(p_{d}\) is an optional offset pressure. The pressure p is converted to a dilatation and prescribed as an essential boundary condition at the nodes of the facets.
