Outlet & Opening


Outlet: the flow is predominantly directed out of the domain. Opening: allows the fluid to cross the boundary surface in either direction.

Wall
No-slip: velocity of the fluid at the wall boundary is set to zero. Free-slip: the velocity component parallel to the wall has a finite value (which is computed), but the velocity normal to the wall is zero.
