constantFastFlux

Description

The constant fastFlux class in OFFBEAT allows you to set the fast flux and fast fluence fields in files located the starting time folder. If the fastFlux and fastFluence files are present in the starting time folder, the internal field and boundary conditions are set accordingly. Otherwise, the fields are set to 0 n/cm2/s and 0 n/cm2 respectively in each cell, with zeroGradient BCs in all non-empty/-wedge patches. Note that when selecting this fast flux model, the fast flux field will remain the same as it was defined in the starting time folder (or set by default).

Note

Even when constant is selected, the fast fluence keeps being updated at each time step as: \(fastFluence = fastFluence.oldTime() + fastFlux \cdot \Delta t\)

Warning

For backward-compatibility, constant can be still used as the typename for the constant fast flux model. However, its use is deprecated.
