UDF for thermal conductivity

ayoub1989 · January 15, 2014, 14:51

Dear Freinds...
i want to define thermal conductivity of nanofluid , I wrote UDF but when i interpreted to fluent, it show me a message "temp definition shadows previous definition" what's mean ?

PHP Code:


			
#include "udf.h"
#define k_np 40 /**thermal conductivity  for nanoparticle Al2O3******/
#define FI 0.02 /************volume fraction**************************/
DEFINE_PROPERTY(nanofluid_Conductivity,c,t)
{
real k_f;       /***thermal conductivity for fluid(water)***********/
real k_nf;      /******thermal conductivity  for nanofluid*********/
real temp = C_T(c,t); /****temperature******/
k_f= -0.000008 * (temp * temp) + ((0.0062 * temp) - 0.5388); 
k_nf = (((k_np + (2 * k_f) - (2 * (k_f - k_np)) * FI)/(k_np + (2 * k_f) + (k_f - k_np) * FI))) * k_f;
return k_nf;
}

Any help i will be grateful

It means that the variable name "temp" is already in used somewhere else. Not in your file, but somewhere in Fluent's files.

This will probably not give a real problem, but to be sure, you could rename your variable name into something else.

thank you

pakk , i renamed the variable and the UDF work without problem

thanks again

did you use compile or interpret for the UDF? I'm trying to use UDF for properties in a similar case but didn't work with me

I used interpreted , compiled and the udf work perfectly

here's my email to contact me : ayoubbennia@gmail.com
