postProcess -func wallHeatFlux in openFoam 6

Hi All,

Any idea why i am getting the below error on using this "postProcess -func wallHeatFlux" utlity for buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam solver ?

" Unable to find compressible turbulence model in the database "

Code:



Create time



Create mesh for time = 0



wallHeatFlux wallHeatFlux:

    processing all wall patches



Time = 0



Reading fields:





Executing functionObjects





--> FOAM FATAL ERROR: 

Unable to find compressible turbulence model in the database



    From function virtual bool Foam::functionObjects::wallHeatFlux::execute()

    in file wallHeatFlux/wallHeatFlux.C at line 240.



FOAM exiting

Thanks,

Quick answer: Unfortunately it's not possible at the moment. You will have to use this utility instead: https://github.com/wyldckat/wallHeatFluxIncompressible

Thanks for your reply.

Does this utility calculate convective heat transfer only or radiative as well ?

Regards,

Quick answer: Convective only.

Have you tried
buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam -postProcess -func wallHeatFlux?
