for incompressible flow simulated using simpleFoam, pimpleFoam or pisoFoam.
Description
Calculates and write the estimated incompressible flow heat transfer
coefficient at wall patches as the volScalarField field
'wallHeatTransferCoeff'.
All wall patches are included by default; to restrict the calculation to
certain patches, use the optional 'patches' entry.
Example of function object specification:
wallHeatTransferCoeff1
{
type wallHeatTransferCoeff;
libs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
...
region fluid;
patches (".*Wall");
rho 1.225;
Cp 1005;
Prl 0.707;
Prt 0.9;
}
Usage
Property | Description | Required | Default value
type | Type name: wallHeatTransferCoeff | yes |
patches | List of patches to process | no | all wall patches
region | Region to be evaluated | no | default region
rho | Fluid density | yes |
Cp | Fluid heat capacity | yes |
Prl | Fluid laminar Prandtl number | yes |
Prt | Fluid turbulent Prandtl number| yes |
Note
Writing field 'wallHeatTransferCoeff' is done by default, but it can be
overridden by defining an empty \c objects list. For details see
writeLocalObjects.
