October 4, 2004, 11:54	How to define heat flux	#1
Coriolius Guest Posts: n/a	I am new to STAR-CD. I am trying to model a problem of air flowing over some heat producing machine in a confined space with ventilation. I can define the shape of the machines and the heat producion rate are known. In that case, the average heat power release per unit area is known. The surface temperature are unknown and has to be determined. But how can I define the heat flux value in STAR-DESIGN? In the BOUNDARY field, only the TEMPERATURE field is available after I checked the "ENERGY EQUATION" in the SOLVER PROPERTIES. Anyone can give me advices or comment?
