CFD Online Discussion Forums - usage of kinematicSingleLayer

Hello,
i have some troubles using the kinematicSingleLayer.

The basis for my simulation is the hot-box tutorial. But I don't need the thermal results, just the wallFilm. For simplification I want to change the surfaceFilmModel from thermoSingleLayer to kinematicSingleLayer.

In the reactingCloud1Properties I still have this line:

Code:

surfaceFilmModel thermoSurfaceFilm;

and in the surfaceFilmProperties i made this change:

Code:

surfaceFilmModel kinematicSingleLayer; // thermoSingleLayer;



regionName      wallFilmRegion;



active          true;



kinematicSingleLayerCoeffs

{

    filmThermoModel constant;

    constantCoeffs

    {

        specie      water;

        rho0        1000;

        mu0         1e-3;

        sigma0      0.07;

    }

...

...

the liquidCoeffs I copied from the rivulet-tutorial.

But now, when I run the reactingParcelFilmFoam I get

Code:

...

where do I have to define the Ts? As I understand, its the temperature on the surface of the wall.
