How to use proper velocity inlets for your (non-cylindrical) geometry:

Step 1:

Execute the script to generate the weights file itself python /hemelb-dev/hemelb/Tools/setuptool/InletProcessing/CreateWeightsFile.py

NOTE: The script will also look for your XML and GMY files, so those should reside in the locations indicated in the profile file.

Step 2:

Ensure HemeLB is properly configured. This means: a. Option HEMELB_USE_VELOCITY_WEIGHTS_FILE is set to ON b. You are using Ladd velocity inlet conditions. c. You are using 0th order pressure outlet conditions. d. Set HEMELB_COMPUTE_ARCHITECTURE to ISBFILEVELOCITYINLET. This is the weighting configuration for Intel Sandy Bridge, modfied with higher weightings for the inlets. Enabling this option will gain you up to 64% more performance compated to the neutral setting.

NOTE: The weighting mechanism could work with outlets, but the current CreateWeightsFile.py only generates weighting files for the inlets.

Step 3:

Compile the code with the new settings.

Step 4:

Double check your XML file, and make sure you put in all the Property Extraction Planes.

Step 5:

Run HemeLB :).
