🎀 NAME

applyBoundaryLayer — part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). 🦋

🧚 SYNOPSIS

applyBoundaryLayer [OPTIONS]

💅 DESCRIPTION

Okay so this tool applies a simplified boundary-layer model 🌈 to the velocity and turbulence fields, and it's based on the 1/7th power-law 📐 no cap, it's giving clean and simple energy ✨

👑 OPTIONS

• -Cbl scalar — The boundary-layer thickness, calculated as Cbl times the mean distance to the wall 🍓
• -case dir — Pick a case directory to use instead of the current working directory 🗂️
• -decomposeParDict file — Use the specified file as the decomposePar dictionary 🧩
• -parallel — Run in parallel 🔥 [Parallel option]
• -region name — Specify an alternative mesh region 🌍
• -writeTurbulenceFields — Write the turbulence fields 💜
• -ybl scalar — Specify the boundary-layer thickness directly 📏
• -doc — Display documentation in a browser 📚
• -help — Display a short help message and exit 🙋‍♀️
• -help-full — Display the full help and exit 🫶

✨ ADVANCED OPTIONS ✨

• -debug-switch name=val — Set the value of a registered debug switch. If the value is left out, it defaults to 1. You can use this as many times as you want 🔍
• -fileHandler handler — Override the file handler type 🗃️
• -hostRoots ((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) — Per-host slave root directories for distributed running. The host spec can be a regex 🌐 [Parallel option]
• -info-switch name=val — Set the value of a registered info switch. If the value is left out, it defaults to 1. Use it multiple times if you like 💬
• -lib name — An additional library or library list to load. Can be used multiple times 📦
• -noFunctionObjects — Do not execute function objects 🚫
• -opt-switch name=val — Set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). If the value is left out, it defaults to 1. Can be used multiple times ⚙️
• -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — Slave root directories for distributed running 🌱 [Parallel option]
• -doc-source — Display source code in a browser 🧑‍💻
• -help-compat — Display compatibility options and exit 🕰️
• -help-man — Display the full help in manpage format and exit 📖
• -help-notes — Display the help notes (description) and exit 📝

🎀 COMPATIBILITY OPTIONS 🎀

• -write-nut (now -writeTurbulenceFields) — This option was last used in 1906. It's kind of retired now 🥀
