I changed the icoFoam to icoHeatFoam with add energy equation to it.also I change wallheatflux to wallHeatFluxLaminar.now I want to calculate gradT and Nusselt number around the block.how can I do this?

I cant download foamCalcEx because of Region denied.

I attached the my case
rtnx for any help

I calculated magGradT and wallHeatFlux.now just I want to calculate Nusselt Number.I know:
Nuss=wallHeatFlux/magGradT

but I dont know how I compute it in openFoam.I has both wallHeatFlux and magGradT.I just need to do a fraction.how can I do it?

Hi sajad6,

How did you calculate gradT? I'm also trying to calculate it on the wall. Thanks in advance!

Hi dear raghav
you can download foamCalcEx from below link and compile it:

http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Contrib_foamCalcEx

after you compile it you can calculate grad T after processing by type the code below:

Code:
foamCalcEx grad T
Best Regards

Thank you very much sajad6

Do you know how I can get the magnitude of the gradient vector directly? I just want it on the walls
