Laser Convection Boundary Condition

This code was developed as a part of my Summer Internship at Materials Modelling Group, IISc Bangalore.

Introduction to boundary condition

Boundary condition for a laser source boundary based on the Gaussian distribution function with additional convective heat transfer, based on laserConvectionBC by Tobias Holzmann

Compiling the library and using the boundary condition

Please refer to the Laser Convection Boundary Condition User Guide for code compatibility, steps to compile and run the boundary condition.

Compatible OpenFOAM Versions

I recommend using OpenFOAM-in-Box to run this code. The code works with OpenFOAM-in-Box-20.09 and OpenFOAM-in-Box-18.10.
