This paper studies the artificial outflow boundary condition for the Navier-Stokes system. This type of condition is widely used and it is therefore very important to study its influence on a numerical solution of the corresponding boundary-value problem. We particularly focus on the role of the coefficient in front of the nonlinear term in the boundary condition on the outflow. The influence of this term is examined numerically, comparing the obtained results in a close neighbourhood of the outflow. The numerical experiment is carried out for a fluid flow through the channel with so called sudden extension. Presented numerical results are obtained by means of the OpenFOAM toolbox. They confirm that the kinetic energy of the flow in the channel can be controlled by means of the proposed boundary condition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
