computing wall heat flux
Hi,
I did simulation for turbulent flow over heated flat plate (constant temperature). "buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam" is used as solver. I get following error by using "wallHeatFlux" utility : Reading g Reading thermophysical properties --> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: cannot find file file: /home/http/OpenFOAM/http-2.1.1/run/plate_new/constant/thermophysicalProperties at line 0. From function regIOobject::readStream() in file db/regIOobject/regIOobjectRead.C at line 73. FOAM exiting For "buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam" solver we have "transportproperties" instead of "thermophysicalproperties"in the constant folder. Then why is it showing this error? |
i guess wallheatflux utility works only for solvers with 'thermophysicalproperties' file.... can anyone tell wat is difference b/w "transportproperties" and "thermophysicalproperties"
|
The first file is used for incompressible solvers while the second one is used for compressible solvers. Different thermodynamic models are used.
|
den why is wallheatflux utility not working with transportproperties??
