Hello guys,
I am working on 'Flow & Heat Transfer over a circular cylinder''. I am using c-mesh and constant flux (isoflux) boundary condition at the cylinder surface. Can anybody please tell me how to calcualte 'Local and Average Nusselt Number' at cylinder surface using FLUENT? I tried to calculate local Nu but it is not in agreement with the experimental results. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks!!!! Kamran |

Hi there,
I just used xy plots > wall fluxes > nusselt number select the boundary on which u want to plot. make sure u put the right length in the reference values section. e.g. if u hv a cylinder of diameter 2 m, set this as 'length' in the reference values. thanks |
