How to access temp. of adjacent two cell centre

sat_fire · February 15, 2018, 06:14

hi everyone,

I have to find temp gradient dT/dy, for that i have to get temperature of two adjacent cell center.first adjacent cell center data can be access by using C_T(c0,t0) but how to access next cell center temp.please help me ...

Why don't you just use the built-in temperature gradient?

Search in the help for "Gradient (G) and Reconstruction Gradient (RG) Vector Macros".

Hello sat_fire,

You can access the next cells temperature using C_T(c1,t1) if you are in the interior of your domain. This link can help : https://www.sharcnet.ca/Software/Flu...udf/node92.htm

If you want the gradient without calculating it in each cell, then you can use the macros C_T_G or C_T_RG as suggested by pakk.

Hope this will help.
Good luck
