Hi,

I need the boundary cell face temperature to use in an expression. How can I access it in the code ? For example, I can define boundary field like:

Code:
        const surfaceScalarField::GeometricBoundaryField& patchHeatFlux =
            heatFlux.boundaryField();
(where heatFlux is a SurfaceScalarField entity). However, expression like T.boundaryField() ( instead of heatFlux.boundaryField() )produces an error. Why the temperature cannot have a boundary field defined like that?

Ed. I am maybe heading into some sort of a solution, but I have a question. Why is the h field (probably enthalpy) recognized when adressed in the code, and T field is not? The brutal example is I can interpolate fvc::interpolate(h) and take gradient fvc::snGrad(h), but non of these with T. I am customizing the wallHeatFlux utility, by the way.
