Hi,
i want to define thermal conductivity according to Zehner and Schluender correlation;




I wrote the following Udf but it doesn't work!
#include "udf.h"
DEFINE_PROPERTY(ksolid,c,t)
{
real ktc;
real temp= C_T(c,t);
real por;
real e_r;
real k_g;
real a;
real b_z;
real sigma;
por=0.36;
e_r=0.8;
sigma=0.0000000567;
b_z=1.25*pow(((1.-por)/por),1.11);
k_g=156.97-0.0988*temp+2.083e-05*pow(temp,3);
a=k_g/0.24*sigma*pow(temp,3.);
ktc=0.24*sigma*pow(temp,3.)*((1.-pow((1-por),0.5)+(((pow((1-por),0.5)/(2.*pow(e_r,-1.)-1.))*((b_z+1.)/b_z)*pow((1+(1/((2.*pow(e_r,-1.)-1)*a))),-1.),
return ktc;
}

is there any one to help me????

There should be a semi-colon at the end of the ktc = ... line, not a comma.

Parenthese overdose in the same line, this line works:
ktc = 0.24*sigma*pow(tempe,3)*( (1-pow(1-por,0.5)) * (1-por) + pow(1-por,0.5)/(2*pow(e_r,-1)-1) * (b_z+1)/b_z * pow(1 + 1/((2*pow(e_r,-1)-1)*a),-1) );

I renamed temp for tempe because temp shadows a previous definition...

Thanks macfly !
I did a silly mistake to write a comma instead of semi- colon!! now i fix it and it works!
i wrote some udfs for porous zone and when i run udf i always see this message that says "c definition shadows previous definition"
c is referred to cell.
how can i fix it?

Thanks

I wrote a udf for energy source when i eliminate this udf i don't see this message again.

here this UDF:
#include "udf.h"
#include "math.h"
DEFINE_SOURCE(energy_source,c,t,dS,eqn)
{
real x[ND_ND];
real source;
real t_c = CURRENT_TIME ;
real t_0;
cell_t c;
t_0=35424000;

if((t_c>0.1) && (t_c<10))
{
source = (4958000*sin(0.285*x[0])+ 1866900)*0.0603*(pow(t_c,-0.0639)-pow(t_c+t_0, -0.0639)) ;
dS[eqn] = (1416001.489*cos(0.285*x[0]))*0.0603*(pow(t_c,-0.0639)-pow(t_c+t_0, -0.0639)) ;

}
if((t_c>10) && (t_c<150))
{
source = (4958000*sin(0.285*x[0])+ 1866900)*0.0766*(pow(t_c,-0.181)-pow(t_c+t_0, -0.181)) ;
dS[eqn] = 1416001.489*cos(0.285*x[0])* 0.0766*(pow(t_c,-0.181)-pow(t_c+t_0, -0.181)) ;

}
if((t_c>150) && (t_c<4000000))
{
source = (4958000*sin(0.285*x[0])+ 1866900)*0.13*(pow(t_c,-0.283)-pow(t_c+t_0, -0.283)) ;
dS[eqn] = 1416001.489*cos(0.285*x[0])*0.13*(pow(t_c,-0.283)-pow(t_c+t_0, -0.283));

}
if((t_c>4000000) && (t_c<200000000))
{
source = (4958000*sin(0.285*x[0])+ 1866900)*0.266*(pow(t_c,-0.335)-pow(t_c+t_0, -0.335)) ;
dS[eqn] = 1416001.489*cos(0.285*x[0])*0.266*(pow(t_c,-0.335)-pow(t_c+t_0, -0.335));

}
if((t_c==0))
{
source = (4958000*sin(0.285*x[0])+ 1866900);
dS[eqn] = 1416001.489*cos(0.285*x[0]);
}

return source;
}

I think there is a problem with it because when i interpret it to fluent , I see this message that says "c definition shadows previous definition"
