Class
Foam::heatTransferCoeffModels::faceZoneReferenceTemperature
Description
Heat transfer coefficient calculation that employs the area-average
temperature of a specified face zone as the reference temperature.
The heat transfer coefficient is calculated by:
\f[
h = \frac{q}{T_{ref} - T_p}
\f]
where
\vartable
h | Heat transfer coefficient [W/m^2/K]
q | Heat flux [W/m^2]
T_{ref} | Area average of reference face zone temperature [K]
T_p | Temperature field of current patch [K]
\endvartable
Usage
Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
\verbatim
heatTransferCoeff1
{
// Inherited entries
...
// Mandatory entries
htcModel faceZoneReferenceTemperature;
referenceFaceZone ;
// Optional entries
referenceRegion ;
}
\endverbatim
where the entries mean:
\table
Property | Description | Type | Reqd | Deflt
htcModel | Model name: faceZoneReferenceTemperature | word | yes | -
referenceFaceZone | Name of reference face zone | word | yes | -
referenceRegion | Name of region that reference face zone resides | word | no | region0
\endtable
