How to calculate heat flux through a surface

stater · July 20, 2016, 14:52

Dear Foamers,

I want to compute the heat flux through a surface, and I want to do this by sampleDict functionality. My issue is that I don't know how to extract the surface magnitude of each face because I have a refined mesh.

Thanks in advance.

hello, stater

have you solved your problems by sampleDict or something else? I also stuck on this kind of problem. Do you mind shed some lights on me?
