As the title says, Iīm working with fluent, simulating a solidification process. I havenīt specified the convection coefficient in the boundary conditions, and I heard that if you donīt specify it, fluent calculates it.
The question is: anyone knows what I have to do to make fluent give me the value? Thanks in advance |

Fluent would only be able to calculate it if you had fluid flowing over the boundary surface. As such, if you don't specify the value, I believe its default value is 0 W/m^2.K. That is, its default is a perfectly insulated boundary.

Well, thatīs exactly the case, because I have the piece submerged in a molten salt bath that is moving. So how can I obtain the value?
