Radiation interface
 
as I can model radiation in semitransparent material, in the domain Interfaces between solid and fluid domain, I have no continuity in the heat flux ...
This may be my problem?

I have all the properties of the solid medium,the Refraction Index, Absorption
Coefficient, and Scattering Coefficient ... but I can not get in compliance continudad Interfaces.

who can help me ... I'm more than a month with this problem and I could not give solution

I do not know if I have a problem with the properties \ general \ .. or if the domain interfaces between solid and fluid donimio.

ghorrocks October 11, 2012 06:02
I cannot see what radiation model you are using. I think you will need a monte carlo model for this model, I suspect the other simpler models will not have sufficient physics.

You have also set the interface condition for all your interfaces to opaque. You probably need to set these to allow radiation transmittion.

But I am no expert in radiation modelling, I could be wrong.

hinca October 11, 2012 08:56
Thanks for your comment
the radiation pattern if Monte Carlos, every body is modeled as opaque, solid body also has that model, according to what I read in the absorption coefficient one can measure the transmission of radiation by the solid body, but not I'm pretty sure.
if you hear anything you tell me. I have a long but I'm working on it

Possa October 11, 2012 09:22
Hello Jhon,

Could you describe a little bit the problem you're trying to solve?

Regards,
Possa

Problem solver runs the CFX
 
whenever a simulation, I get the following message
*
ERROR # 001100279 has occurred in subroutine ErrAction.
Message:
Radiation settings across a coupled model domain were found to be
inconsistent. Please change the setup and re-run.

What is wrong and how I can change the setup?

Possa October 13, 2012 17:26
Hello Jhon,

I think the error message is pretty clear: your settings for the radiation problem are not right. I guess you are making a mistake somewhere in your radiation settings. By taking a quick look in your output file I believe radiation properties are consistent. So I think the problem is probably in interface settings and models.
First of all, as Glenn already said, interfaces between semi-transparent material and other domains must not be opaque.
Are you sure all interfaces are correct?

Regards,
Possa

hello Possa

the settings I am using for the fluid and solid domain are as follows

Fluid domain
-Thermal Radiation
option -> Monte Carlos
-Number of histories
1000000
-Transfer mode
Participating half
Spectral-mode
optio -> Multiband
wavelength in vacuum
0.001 - 2.7 (micron)
2.7 - 1000 (micron)

glass domain
-Thermal Radiation
option -> Monte Carlos
-Number of histories
100,000
-Transfer mode
Participating half
Spectral-mode
optio -> Multiband
wavelength in vacuum
0.001 - 2.7 (micron)
2.7 - 1000 (micron)

Interface type
Fluid - solid
Thermal radiation -> on
conservative interface flux

Material properties aire
Radiation Properties
- refractive index = 1
- Absorption Coefficient = 0.01
- Scattering Coefficient = 0


Material properties vidrio
Radiation Properties
- refractive index = 1.5
- Absorption Coefficient = 61.22
- Scattering Coefficient = 0


I attached a picture of how is the model.
this is my problem, I've read several scientific articles but not the management of CFX tool.

thanks for your attention and help

Possa October 15, 2012 08:35
Hello Jhon,

Your settings seem correct.
I've taken a look in your model sketch. If you are modeling all that, then you have a lot of interfaces. Each glass plate has six interfaces. All glass-fluid domain interfaces must be set to thermal radiation->conservative flux. You must be careful to check interfaces below the "interfaces tree" and all domain interfaces related. They all must be conservative flux and not opaque. If you are setting an emissivity is because no radiation is passing through, and that's not what you want.
Cavity walls, on the other hand, must be set to opaque.

Another thing: to model the glass as semitransparent the fluid must be a participating media also and only monte carlo model can be applied in all domains. If you try to use another radiation model for the fluid you won't be able to use thermal radiation-> conservative flux. So all domains must use monte carlo for this to work (learned by experience).

If all interfaces are correct it should run.

Regards,
Possa

hello Possa

and finish the simulation, thank you for your cooperation and others. I attached a picture of how the simulation gave. The parameters used were as you mentioned earlier.
I have only one question. for semitrasmaparente material has the following properties, absorptivity (0.14) - reflectivity (0.08) - transmisivity (0.78) more Emissivity (0.85) where you enter the value of emissivity in CFX, CFX progrma or it assumes by default?

thank you very much for your collaboration, were more than three months of work and information search.

if you see something strange in the pictures I can tell my.

Possa October 19, 2012 14:29
Hello Jhon,

For any participating media (including semi-transparent) emissivity is not needed to solve the radiation problem as it is derived from the absorption coefficient (not absorptivity).

You only use emissivity, absorptivity, reflectivity and transmisivity for a participating media if you are treating it as a whole piece (example: solving a glass wall without solving the radiation inside the glass only the energy balance on the wall).

What you need to set for participating media is absorption coefficient, refraction index and scattering coefficient.

If you need any clarifying on the subject I suggest the book "Radiative Heat Transfer" from Siegel and Howell.

Regards,
Possa

Hi dear all,
i have to model super heater tube bundles in cfx.
How i can consider the radiation?
please guide me step to step!!!!!!
thanks a lot:)

ghorrocks November 10, 2013 04:32
The simple approach is to model it as a simple heat load.

Or you can use a radiation model. The discrete transfer model is adequate for many applications. Have a look at the tutorials for how to set it up.
