Calculating heat flux in OpenFOAM

Hi
I am trying to develop a custom boundary condition in OpenFOAM. The boundary condition value is calculated from a polynomial expression written in terms of the heat flux at the boundary. I am using the reactingFoam solver. Can anyone perhaps tell me how exactly I could access the necessary variables (e.g. alphaEff) at the boundary to calculate the heat flux at the boundary? Thanks |

Likely by using the thermo class, using something like this:
Code:
const fluidThermo& thermo_(mesh.lookupObject<fluidThermo>("thermophysicalProperties")) |
