Hello again every1!

I need to customize sth but im not sure swak4foam can handle it..

I need to use the this boundary condition ( /opt/openfoam210/src/turbulenceModels/compressible/turbulenceModel/derivedFvPatchFields/externalWallHeatFluxTemperature ) but i want to use the settings with "h" and "Ta". Thing is i have an h which is time dependent!!

i guess i have 2 options and i wonder which one should be best?

a)implement the DataEntry class within this BC

b)create sth equivalent with swak4Foam?

i wanted to work with the army knife but since i need the convection coefficients to be time dependent i'm not quite sure that the swak4f is able to handle it!

thank you for your time!

Even in that case you can use swak4Foam as since the last release it defines a subclass to DataEntry that allows expressions ... the result has to be uniform.

This is possible too IF the field that defines the heat conduction is present in memory (not if it is calculated on the fly) - so it depends basically onthe solver.

The BC you mention is basically a mixedBC and groovyBC can emulate that (as long as it is not on a mapped-patch)

Hi gschaider!

thanks for the reply!

the solver should be the scalarTransportFoam since i'm solving only for temperature on a solid domain - some steel alloy

I guess i'll try to implement the dataentry class first, cuz it's seems to provide a "broader BC".

since i'm not that familiar with doxygen classes and functions it might take a while till i compile sth but as soon i as get sth working ill post it here

for now, thanks for time gs,

Hi mauricio,

did you solve your problem? I am also stuck in time-dependent heat flux problem. I wonder whether you may help?
