Flow type BC

When working with flow BC at the East side of the domain the first matrix index is k=2 as shown in (4.28) and (4.30). In addition, it's necessary to modify the previously calculated (4.18) coefficient D2 as specified in (4.21). A2 is not used. Here j1 is the index of the first cell inside the domain, $u^{BC}_{i\;j_1}$ is the given BC velocity data. Such value is usually estimated as the flow (m3/s) divided by the cross section area.


 \begin{displaymath}
D_2=D_2 + \frac{\Delta t}{2 \Delta x} H^n_{i\;j_1-1} u^{BC}_{i\;j_1}
\end{displaymath} (7.18)


 \begin{displaymath}
D_{2m}=D_{2m} - \frac{\Delta t}{2 \Delta x} H^n_{i\;j_2} u^{BC}_{i\;j_2}
\end{displaymath} (7.19)
