Define_profile UDF for Transient Heat flux boundary condition
 

hello sir,
I want to write a udf for a time varying heat flux.
From the udf manual i got the fluent code for heat generation which can be used for heat flux as mentioned in the manual is as bellows

/* Wall Heat Generation Rate Profile UDF */
#include "udf.h"
DEFINE_PROFILE(wallheatgenerate,thread,i)
{
real source = 0.001;
face_t f;
begin_f_loop(f,thread)
F_PROFILE(f,thread,i) = source;
end_f_loop(f,thread)
}

can u tell me the code i need to enter in place of that "Source"
these are my set of heat flux values for each time step, after 0.03 for 0.031 onwards the values should repeat ! that is cyclic input.

thank you.

In my opinion, you don't need to think about it

Just put like this

1.0t*0.2t^2///whatever

and hooking this function to appropriate position in fluent

I am sorry for poor English

Same problem
