AUTOBC Version 1.0

Authors: William M. Chan

Description:

The autobc program generates the BCINP namelist block for the OVERFLOW input file for a given grid file. Topological boundary conditions are automatically identified (e.g., periodic, axis, etc.). Heuristic rules are used to determine the location of solid walls (viscous/inviscid). Far field conditions are not determined.

Usage:

  autobc [-ifile input_grid] [-ofile output_namelist_file]
         [-isymm isymm] [-icloste icloste] [-ig ig] [-iwallbc iwallbc]

Argument	Description
-ifile input_grid	where input_grid is the input grid filename
-ofile output_namelist_file	where output_namelist_file is the output file that contains the BCINP namelist (default = bc.inp)
-isymm isymm	where isymm=0/1/2/3 (0=full configuration, 1/2/3=symmetric about x/y/z=0, default=0)
-closete iclosete	where iclosete=0/1 (0=open trailing edges, 1=closed trailing edges, default=1)
-ig ig	where ig>=0 (0 : get bcs for all grids, >0 : get bcs for grid ig only (default=0)
-iwallbc iwallbc	where iwallbc=0/1/5 is the wall bc to be used for surface grids (default=5)
