Hi All,

Does someone have an idea of defining heat transfer boundary or B.C on a coupled patch in contact with an other mesh. I have gone through the Cht multiregion foam it didnot help me.

I basically want to define a heat transfer boundary condition using something like baffle which i have used. What would be a relevant b.C for a coupled patch ? baffle or something else?

I have also gone through some solvers with fluid and solid heat transfer but the results are still not satisfactory. The temperature increases non physically.


thanks in advance

Hi,

Does your mesh is identical at the coupled patch?

Hi,

Yes, it is identical with the same configuration.

In this case, standard settings from tutorials must work:
1- Create or import your meshes;
2- Use splitMeshRegions -cellZones -overwrite to define the regions;
3- Modify the polymesh/boundary file of each region to use type mappedWall at mesh connexions
4- For temperature boundary conditions, use type compressible::turbulentTemperatureCoupledBaffleMix ed

I have used these settings with chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam for a heat exchanger and I got a good agreement with experimental values.

Best regards,

Hi Micheal,

First of all thanks for your detailed info. But!

My problem is a little complex than chtMultiRegionFoam, despite being familiar with multiple mesh techniques, i have found myself in a pot hole as, the thing i would need is exactly a heat transfer or patch boundary in order to enhance the diffusion of heat into the mesh2 from mesh1. This may be also possible with chtMultiRegionfoam but the major problem would the mesh refinement. If in case, i want to refine the inner region (mesh1), it would be a strenuous or an impossible task.

Best Regards,
RRK

If I understand your problem, you want both sides coupled with different meshes. If this is the case, you can use the sampleMode nearestPatchFaceAMI. Here's a discussion about that:

chtmultiregionfoam-different-mesh-2-sides-coupled-boundary

If not, can you give more explanation of your problem?

Best regards,

Hi Micheal,
Let me put you this on a very simple note.
My Mesh 1 is solid in the beginning but changes its state to liquid due to the heat input from mesh 2 from the coupled patch. Both mesh1 and mesh2 have incompressible fluids, so the B.C. compressible::turbulentTemperatureCoupledBaffleMix ed; is not valid in my case.

I cant use the chtMultiRegionFoam because my solid in mesh1 temperature equation is very different from the original.

On a straight hit, I may need a heat transfer patch B.C. for an incompressible which allows heat transfer between two meshes which just works like compressible::turbulentTemperatureCoupledBaffleMix ed;. newton law of cooling (fvOptions.H) may not work because the overlapping area is 0. between the meshes.


Thanks in Advance,
Best Regards,
RRK

RaghavendraRohith, perhaps you already know this by now, but nothing in compressible::turbulentTemperatureCoupledBaffleMix ed is specifically tuned to compressible or turbulent flows.

Hi Anton,

Thank you for your reply. Ya, i have found it, i have done it using compressible and incompressible coupling which worked fine. I have managed somehow to get it right. Thank you once again.

So, did turbulentTemperatureCoupledBaffleMixed do the trick?

RaghavendraRohith. so do you stick to the "compressible :: turbulentTemperatureCoupledBaffleMix" type for your incompressible simulation?

I have the same simulated case as you . I am use OF 8.

Hi


I too have the same doubt.



Hope you might have solved your doubt by now. If so, pls shed light.




Thanks in advance
