Hi foamers,
i am currently trying to transfer results from an OF job to use them as inputs for another tool. This OF job is a CHTMultiRegionFoam one, with Fluid and Solid parts
The datas that i need are the heat flux from fluid to Solid.
So i have used wallHeatFlux, but when i use these results i am surprised because the other tool seems to say that these heat fluxes are too small to obrtain the OF results. And i have to trust him after having done some verifications.
So my first question is : what is the unity given by wallHeatFlux ?
And the second one is : Have you any ideas to solve my problem ?

Thanks for your reading,
have a good day,
LD
