Hello,
It is "OPTION FOR LIQUID BOUNDARIES"
so it is given for every liquid boundary, separated by semi-colons. 1 is default, 2 is for Thompson boundary conditions. Basically known values are given (5 or 6 in boundary conditions file), unknown values are free (4 in boundary conditions file) and the theory of characteristics will decide which values to take and which values to discard. An example is the case thomson.
With best regards,
