postProcess -func wallHeatFlux in openFoam 6

vs1 · August 22, 2018, 06:05

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,
Vaibhav

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,
Vaibhav

Quick answer: Convective only.

Have you tried
buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam -postProcess -func wallHeatFlux?
