contours of heat transfer coefficient

sharath jallu · April 5, 2016, 05:22

Is it possible to view the contours of surface heat transfer coefficient just like as we get the contours of pressure, velocity, temperature etc in fluent?????

please let me know..

Yes. Choose Wall Heat Transfer Coefficient as the parameter to plot.

However, you should look in to the details behind how WHTC is calculated. It uses the temperature at the first node from the wall as the reference temperature. Often the bulk temperature is the interesting temperature to use as a reference.

Edit: Forget what I said, that is true for CFX. I missed that you are using Fluent. Sorry.
