Unphysical wall heat transfer outputs

I am puzzled by some outputs from the boundary monitor files (bound*_wall.out) during an IC engine simulation:
- Instantaneous Wall Heat Transfer (column HT_xfer_Rate) https://postimg.cc/z3H34FMj - Integrated Wall Heat Transfer (column Tot_HT_xfer) https://postimg.cc/1nn5hyWt However, I don't see these unphysical spikes in both: - the average near-wall temperature (column Near_Wall_Avg_T) https://postimg.cc/0zDB4Fds - the average heat transfer coefficient (column Avg_HTC) https://postimg.cc/Mc0gnNvD What is going on? I will be happy to provide all relevant details! |

The plots, for the most part, look OK to me. The change in instantaneous heat transfer is a question mark but integrated is doing what I would expect and summing the change in instantaneous change into the integral. Looking at instantaneous heat transfer for a moment, a couple of possibilities come to mind. Is it possible some engine event is occuring near this time? Is a spray causing piston wetting to occur and, in turn, cause a drop in heat transfer? Second, have you checked for recoveries around this time? I could see a recovery causing a change in variables. Let me know what you find. - John |

Hi John,
Thank you for the suggestions. I looked at the log file to see if there had been a recovery at that time, and it doesn't seem to be the case: [0m[1m[ 37.20%] [0m[32mncyc 3826; Crank -414.194 (deg); dt= 1.136448270e-05 (dt_cfl by region 2)[0m[0m [0m[1m[ 37.22%] [0m[32mncyc 3827; Crank -414.072 (deg); dt= 5.076327947e-06 (dt_cfld)[0m[0m [0m[1m[ 37.23%] [0m[32mncyc 3828; Crank -414.017 (deg); dt= 6.345409934e-06 (dt_grow)[0m[0m [0m[35mWriting post file output/post000022_-4.13948e+02.h5 .........[0m [35mWriting post file output/post000022_-4.13948e+02.h5 complete[0m [1m[ 37.24%] [0m[32mncyc 3829; Crank -413.948 (deg); dt= 7.931762418e-06 (dt_grow)[0m[0m [0m[1m[ 37.26%] [0m[32mncyc 3830; Crank -413.863 (deg); dt= 9.914703022e-06 (dt_grow)[0m[0m At Crank -414.072 is when the instantaneous heat transfer spikes, as can be seen in the boundary monitor file that I attached. There are no special events occurring around that crank angle. This is very puzzling. |
