Dear all
I had a problem about calculate convection coefficient "h". Because I don't know the "h" of my model, and I want to calculate the "h" by using "Fluent" If it is possible, how should I do? Please direct me, thanks. |

I guess that you want to calculate the heat transfer coefficient at a wall surface.
You can do it from the 'Report' option in post processing. Report > Surface Integrals Select "Area weighted average" under report type. Select "Temperature > Surface Heat Transfer Coef." under "Field Variable" Select your surface and click "compute" All this, provided you had turned on your Energy Equation, and given proper thermal boundary conditions. |

Dear srjp, thank you very much.
The answer is what I need. I just need the surface h to be used in the boundary condition of energy equation. |
