9.24 EulerianBCState object

The EulerianBCState object stores the propagating data for an Eulerian boundary condition in a step. One instance of this object is created internally by the EulerianBC object for each step. The instance is also deleted internally by the EulerianBC object.

The EulerianBCState object has no constructor or methods.

The EulerianBCState object is derived from the BoundaryConditionState object.

9.24.1  Members

The EulerianBCState object has the following members:

definition

A SymbolicConstant specifying the material flow conditions to be defined. Possible values are INFLOW, OUTFLOW, and BOTH. The default value is INFLOW.

definitionState

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the definition member. Possible values are UNSET, SET, and UNCHANGED.

inflowType

A SymbolicConstant specifying the material flow conditions to be defined. Possible values are FREE, NONE, and VOID. The default value is FREE.

inflowTypeState

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the definition member. Possible values are UNSET, SET, and UNCHANGED.

outflowType

A SymbolicConstant specifying the material flow conditions to be defined. Possible values are ZERO_PRESSURE, FREE, NON_REFLECTING, and EQUILIBRIUM. The default value is ZERO_PRESSURE.

outflowTypeState

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the definition member. Possible values are UNSET, SET, and UNCHANGED.

amplitudeState

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the amplitude reference. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, FREED, and MODIFIED.

status

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the BoundaryConditionState object. Possible values are:

  • NOT_YET_ACTIVE

  • CREATED

  • PROPAGATED

  • MODIFIED

  • DEACTIVATED

  • NO_LONGER_ACTIVE

  • TYPE_NOT_APPLICABLE

  • INSTANCE_NOT_APPLICABLE

  • PROPAGATED_FROM_BASE_STATE

  • MODIFIED_FROM_BASE_STATE

  • DEACTIVATED_FROM_BASE_STATE

  • BUILT_INTO_MODES

amplitude

A String specifying the name of the amplitude reference. The String is empty if the boundary condition has no amplitude reference.
