# freefoam-boundary(1)

Steady-state solver for 1D turbulent flow, typically to generate boundary layer conditions at an inlet, for use in a simulation.

## NAME

freefoam-boundary - Steady-state solver for 1D turbulent flow, typically to generate boundary layer conditions at an inlet, for use in a simulation.

## SYNOPSIS

**freefoam boundary** \[-parallel\] \[-srcDoc\] \[-case *\<dir\>*\] \[-doc\] \[-help\]

## DESCRIPTION

Boundary layer code to calculate the U, k and epsilon distributions. Used to create inlet boundary conditions for experimental comparisons for which U and k have not been measured. Turbulence model is runtime selectable.
