for the multiphaseEuler solver module, replacing the more specific
uniformFixedMultiphaseHeatFluxFvPatchScalarField as it provide equivalent
functionality if the heat-flux q is specified.
multiphaseExternalTemperatureFvPatchScalarField is derived from the refactored
and generalised externalTemperatureFvPatchScalarField, overriding the
getKappa member function to provide the multiphase equivalents of kappa and
other heat transfer properties. All controls for
multiphaseExternalTemperatureFvPatchScalarField are the same as for
externalTemperatureFvPatchScalarField:
Class
Foam::externalTemperatureFvPatchScalarField
Description
This boundary condition applies a heat flux condition to temperature
on an external wall. Heat flux can be specified in the following ways:
- Fixed power: requires \c Q
- Fixed heat flux: requires \c q
- Fixed heat transfer coefficient: requires \c h and \c Ta
where:
\vartable
Q | Power Function1 of time [W]
q | Heat flux Function1 of time [W/m^2]
h | Heat transfer coefficient Function1 of time [W/m^2/K]
Ta | Ambient temperature Function1 of time [K]
\endvartable
Only one of \c Q or \c q may be specified, if \c h and \c Ta are also
specified the corresponding heat-flux is added.
If the heat transfer coefficient \c h is specified an optional thin thermal
layer resistances can also be specified through thicknessLayers and
kappaLayers entries.
The patch thermal conductivity \c kappa is obtained from the region
thermophysicalTransportModel so that this boundary condition can be applied
directly to either fluid or solid regions.

Example of the boundary condition specification:

<patchName>
{
type externalTemperature;
Ta constant 300.0;
h uniform 10.0;
thicknessLayers (0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4);
kappaLayers (1 2 3 4);
value $internalField;
}
