Class
Foam::heatTransferCoeffModels::fixedReferenceTemperature
Description
Heat transfer coefficient calculation
that employs a fixed 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} | User-specified reference temperature [K]
T_p | Patch temperature field [K]
\endvartable
Usage
Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
\verbatim
heatTransferCoeff1
{
// Inherited entries
...
// Mandatory entries
htcModel fixedReferenceTemperature;
Tref ;
}
\endverbatim
where the entries mean:
\table
Property | Description | Type | Reqd | Deflt
type | Model name: fixedReferenceTemperature | word | yes | -
Tref | User-specied reference temperature | scalar | yes | -
\endtable
