(No guarantee) A tiny modification of an existing function object (i.e. heatTransferCoeff) to compute Nusselt number.

Might be helpful to someone one day (though not sure as usual).

A minimal example of usage:

NusseltNo
{
    type            heatTransferCoeff;
    libs            (fieldFunctionObjects);
    field           T;
    htcModel        localReferenceTemperature;
    patches         ( hot_wall );
    L               1.0;
    kappa           1.0;
    writeControl    timeStep;
    writeInterval   1;
}

Really nice and exactly what i'm looking for.



But could you please explain how i cann add these in my OpenFOAM installation in order to use this?


Thanks in advance and pretty nice work.


With kind regards

Hi,
I think the above became redundant with the Nusselt number in v2012.

Thanks for this solution for Nusselt number.

I'm using OpenFOAM-v1812. Can you please kindly explain how I can use or add this to OpenFOAM-v1812 to calculate the Nusselt number?

Thanks in advance.


Best regards
