Use if you want to study the evolution of the flow with time. The flow
parameters (boundary condition parameters) can be a function of time.

(hence posing convergence problems); the parameters (material parameters
or boundary condition parameters) are progressively increased (or
decreased) from an initial value to the desired nominal value.

Choose your own systems of units, keeping in mind
that the numerical values in Polydata should not be too

Boundary conditions are defined along the borders of the

domain of the sub-task (intersections with a boundary set or a
sub-domain). )
The boundary conditions are usually specified with respect to a
local reference frame n-s where:
