Dear all,
I have problem with open boundary condition implementation.
I have changed the reference MATLAB code in palabos for flow in a channel. but when I want to implement open BC (East boundary condition in code below, fIn(7),fIn(4), fIn(8)), the result becomes unstable.
Any help will be appreciated kindly.
My code is as follows:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
