tH3f0rC3 is on a distinguished road
Dear all,

I want to model a turbulent flow with heat transfer caused by forced convection and radiation.
How can I model that with OF. I have checked the tutorial files of the heat transfer solvers. I every solver-file there are the following files: alphatwallfunction, epsilon, k, nut, p, p_rgh, T, T.org, U.
- What is the meaning of them (T=temperature, U=velocity.)?
- Is it possible to enter a heat transfer coefficient calculated by my own or does OF calculate everything by itself?

Thank you for your answer.

Best Regards,
tH3f0rC3
