Hello!

Does anyone have any idea about how to implements externalWallHeatFluxTemperatureboundary condition. I know the format/ syntax from here: http://foam.sourceforge.net/docs/cpp/a08597_source.html . But i am unable to figure out, in which dictionary to put this boundary condition. I tried putting it in 0/T, but it doesnt work.

Please guide me how to proceed.

Thanks,
Nikunj.

hi!
Did you manage to figure this out?
It seems to me that this BC should be in 0/T.

I was trying this for a buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam case, the hotroom example.
I tried applying th BC on the floor temp of the hotroom case (I eliminated the hot box and changed the floor temp to externalWallHeatFluxTemperature with only q (so no Ta and h, and no layers)
so in 0/T
floor

 {
            type            externalWallHeatFluxTemperature;
            kappa           fluidThermo;       // fluidThermo, solidThermo or
                                               // lookup
            q               uniform 1000;      // heat flux / [W/m2]
            Ta              uniform 300.0;     // ambient temperature /[K]
            h               uniform 10.0;      // heat transfer coeff /[W/K/m2]
            thicknessLayers (0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4); // thickness of layer [m]
            kappaLayers     (1 2 3 4)          // thermal conductivity of
                                               // layer [W/m/K]
            value           uniform 300.0;     // initial temperature / [K]
            kappaName       none;
        }

and now I get the following error:

Anybody an idea?
Or doens't this BC work for this solver?

Any examples available?

Thx in advance!

Hello！
Use solarload in chtmultiregionfoam and select sundritracking. Why does the temperature rise again until the sun sets completely?
