Detailed Description

Abstract base class for alphaContactAngle boundary conditions.

Contact-angle boundary condition for multi-phase interface-capturing simulations. Used in conjuction with multiphaseMixture.

Derived classes must implement the theta() fuction which returns the wall contact angle field.

The essential entry "limit" controls the gradient of alpha1 on the wall:

limit none; // Calculate the gradient from the contact-angle without limiter

limit gradient; // Limit the wall-gradient such that alpha1 remains bounded on the wall

limit alpha;// Bound the calculated alpha1 on the wall

limit zeroGradient; // Set the gradient of alpha1 to 0 on the wall i.e. reproduce previous behaviour

Note that if any of the first three options are used the boundary condition on p_rgh must set to guarantee that the flux is corrected to be zero at the wall e.g.

walls { typefixedFluxPressure; adjoint no; }

If "limit zeroGradient;" is used the pressure BCs can be left as before.
