Question about heat transfer coefficient setting for CFX
 

Hi,

I'm doing the conjugate heat transfer. I'd like to set up a heat transfer coefficient at the solid porous interface. But my setting doesn't work at all. The simulation result is the same to the result of the same simulation but without adding heat transfer coefficient.

I set up everything by button clicking. There is one thing strange during the setting: I don't find the heat transfer coefficient setting button at the 'Interface' column. So I just skip that part. I only set up the 'nonoverlap' column of porous domain and solid domain to heat transfer coefficient.

Here is my CCL code. There isn't any error report. Could you debug it for me?

You cannot set a HTC at an interface as the HTC is calculated as part of the simulation.
