Multiple Velocity Inlets for 1D solver

Post by Patrick Fillingham » Wed Feb 12, 2025 1:55 pm

I am attempting to use the 1D solver to simulate flow in the circle of willis. I have RCR boundary conditions for all of the outflows, but the domain has three inlet boundaries, Basilar artery, Right ICA and Left ICA. The current 1d framework doesn't seem to allow for multiple inlet conditions. Does anyone know of a workaround or if this could be implemented in the next release? Thanks.

Hi Patrick,

The 1D solver currently supports a single inflow boundary condition per model. Looking at the code it seems that the solver does support the input of multiple models but I don't think that this has ever been tested.

We are currently updatinf the code to read JSON files for input but there is currently no formal plan to re-write the code.

As an open-source project you are welcome to add new functionality to the code.

Cheers,
Dave
