Dear All,
I want to specify the fixed value of temperature to a specific volume/zone in CFX. I searched on net & I knew that it can be done in fluent but I was not able to find anything for CFX. I can specify the heat source for a subdomain but then how would I keep the temperature constant? Thanks in advance. Regards, Sanyo |

What do you intend to model?

Dear Joey,
Thank you for your reply. I want to model fluidized bed combustion. However, combustion is not in our scope as well necessary data for combustion is not available. We know the temperature of the gas leaving the fluidized bed. So we thought that we might be able to model fluidized bed as subdomain with appropriate momentum loss & defining the fixed temperature to subdomain. Is it possible to define fixed temperature or should I use energy source? With energy source, we doubt that we wont be able to achieve exact temperature of gases. Thank you for your help. Regards, Sanyo |

Yes, you can fix a regions temperature with an energy source. I think there is an example of how to do it in the documentation. It has been ages since I did it but it is something like:
Set the source term to -C(t-tSET) where tSET is your specified temperature. You then set the source term coefficient to -C (or is it +C, can't remember). C is a constant chosen to be large relative to any possible t, 1e6 should do the trick. This is from my flaky memory so I might have got some signs wrong but that is the basic idea. It is something like that. |
