Also added the new prghTotalHydrostaticPressure p_rgh BC which uses the hydrostatic pressure field as the reference state for the far-field which provides much more accurate entrainment is large open domains typical of many fire simulations. The hydrostatic field solution is controlled by the optional entries in the fvSolution.PIMPLE dictionary, e.g. hydrostaticInitialization yes; nHydrostaticCorrectors 5; and the solver must also be specified for the hydrostatic p_rgh field ph_rgh e.g. ph_rgh { $p_rgh; } Suitable boundary conditions for ph_rgh cannot always be derived from those for p_rgh and so the ph_rgh is read to provide them. To avoid accuracy issues with IO, restart and post-processing the p_rgh and ph_rgh the option to specify a suitable reference pressure is provided via the optional pRef file in the constant directory, e.g. dimensions [1 -1 -2 0 0 0 0]; value 101325; which is used in the relationship between p_rgh and p: p = p_rgh + rho*gh + pRef; Note that if pRef is specified all pressure BC specifications in the p_rgh and ph_rgh files are relative to the reference to avoid round-off errors. For examples of suitable BCs for p_rgh and ph_rgh for a range of fireFoam cases please study the tutorials in tutorials/combustion/fireFoam/les which have all been updated. Henry G.
