sponge layer damping

Sponge layer that damps the solution towards a reference condition near the farfield boundaries.

distancerequired
float·required·in m

Depth of the sponge layer, measured into the domain from the farfield boundaries.

Used intraintunnel

float·required·in 1/s

Peak damping rate, applied at the farfield boundary and ramped to zero at 'distance' along a cosine profile.
