Hi

I'm trying to calculate the heat transfer coefficient from my CFD-Simulation. Can anybody tell me which formula I've to implement? I tried using the formula from OpenFoam's application wallHeatFlux, i.e. alphaEff*cp = alphat*cp+lambda divided by the height of the first cell normal to the surface. The units are matching (W/(m^2K)), but my results are way to high. Can anybody tell me where I can find theoretical results/formulas/literature for this topic?

Thanks a lot
Daniela
