temperature profile on boundary
 

Hi all, I am having a problem with imposing a varying temperature profile on wall(2d pipe flow).The profile is wall is 153 cm long with temperature going from 900 - 1400k in 0 - 18 cm(linearly) constant at 1400k in 18 - 44cm 1400 - 700k in 44 - 60 cm(linearly) constant at 700k in 60 - 153cm I try to put this by splitting the wall into 4 different zones. The resulting temperature profile in the reactor matches the wall profile except for the first zone, where the temperature is limited to 1 k by fluent. Can anybody give me some ideas to overcome this. I would really apprecate the help. thanks in advance, sivakumar

Did you read the UDF help?you can solve it by the help of UDF

hi zhhuang, can you be more specific please. iam using udf to introduce the linear profiles, while i suggest constant temperature on the other two zones. thank you, sivakumar

I believe you can find the details in the UDF manul

Hi I believe you need not to split in single UDF itself you can give temp profile. As your model is 2 D problem is again simple. assume your wall start at origin and paralel to one axis. Follow this step in UDF 1. Read location of each thread .(loc) 2 Compare it with your controling location a .if it less than 18 then temp will be 900 + 500*loc/18 simlarly you can specify temp for other locations. If you need more help reply Rahul
