How to add a expression to Turbulent Prandtl Number (Prt)

hi, Guys,
I would like to use a expression in Turbulent Prandtl Number rather than a constant in CFX 12.0, the form maybe like this: Prt = f (x,y). For some certain purposes, I only want to change it in the Energy Equation. I've been browsing through some posts here. But I didn't get the answer yet. There is one suggestion in 2006: ------------------------ Add the CCL below to the HEAT TRANSFER MODEL section (for each fluid domain) HEAT TRANSFER MODEL: Option = Thermal Energy TURBULENT FLUX CLOSURE: Option = Eddy Diffusivity Turbulent Prandtl Number = 0.9 END END ----------------------- I don't know if I could do the same to replace 0.9 by f(x,y) in CFX 12.0 Is there anyone here could give me some ideas? Thanks in advance Red Last edited by Redpoko; September 16, 2009 at 09:29. |

I don't know whether you can make the Prandtl number a function of anything, it might need to be a constant... But I am not sure. Try it and find out!

thanks Glenn, I will give a try and later post the result here.
one more question: is the CCL above correct or not? if there is any other approach to change Prt in CFX 12.0? |

You can easily check you CCL by either selecting the options you want in CFX-Pre then right click on the feature tree and select edit in command editor. Alternately you can enter the text in the command editor in CFX-Pre and check the right options are activated.

it didn't work......
I give a simple expression to Turbulent Prandtl Number. The Warning Message is : Parameter 'Turbulent Prandtl Number' in object '/FLOW:Flow Analysis 1/DOMAINefault Domain/FLUID MODELS/HEAT TRANSFER MODEL/TURBULENT FLUX CLOSURE' is not allowed to be assigned an expression value that depends on variables. It must be assigned a numeric value, or an expression that resolves to a constant value. now I have no idea how i could solve the problem..... |

Well, the error message just about sums it up - if you want to define Turb Prandtl number as a function of anything you have to either develop your own turbulence model or drop CFX and use other software.
It may also be worthwhile talking to CFX support as they may have a hidden way of doing what you want. |

ya, I also think so.
I'll give Ansys a call to ask if they have some 'secret path' to solve it. Thank you again for your patience and those answers ! |

I got the answer from ANSYS. They said CFX 13.0 will probably solve the problem.
well, that's it..... |

Hi,I have a question about the Turbulent Prandtl Number in CFX 12.0.
After importing the up CCL,where can i check the Prandtl Nb value in CFX12.0? |

I have tested that, in CFX14.0, the Prandtl Number is not allowed to be assigned an expression value that depends on variables. Redpoko, have you solved your problem?

I think this thread has thoroughly explained what is going on. Making Pr a variable introduces many complex high order terms and they are not implemented in CFX so this will not work. Alternately Pr might define parameters which are calculated once, whereas is you make it a variable then the variation of Pr is not properly accounted for.
It looks like V13 does not do the check for constant Pr but I bet it does not account for the terms and/or changes in other variable so use it at your own risk - no guarantees it is correct. |

So, do you think it is a good way to assign the Pr a constant A, and treat the remained term (Pr-A) as a source term attaching to the turbulence equation?

You have to treat the Pr as a constant, so if you can include the effect of non-constant Pr as a source term then that will be the only way of implementing it in CFX.
