Hi,
I am trying to determine the heat transfer coefficient from forced convection for a cylinder in cross flow from a jet. There is a symmetry condition to split the cylinder and jet in half. I am using a k-epsilon turbulence model. When I look at the total surface heat flux and try to calculate nusselt number from that the results are almost double what they should be. Is the total surface heat flux that fluent calculates calculated from the area modeled (which is half the actual length of the cylinder) or does it take into account that there is a symmetry face and double the overall area of the modeled cylinder? |
