Hello folks

I have 2 questions:

Question 1:
I'm using compressible flow solvers like rhoCentralFoam and sonicFoam. I am interested in heat flux calculation at the wall but I want to know individual contribution of convective + radiation heat flux such that it appears as 3 distinct fields in paraview: (Qrad, Qconv and Qtotal/Qeffective)

I see this in wallHeatFlux.: for OF v6

    if (foundObject<volScalarField>("qr"))
    {
        const volScalarField& qr = lookupObject<volScalarField>("qr");

        const volScalarField::Boundary& radHeatFluxBf =
            qr.boundaryField();

        forAll(wallHeatFluxBf, patchi)
        {
            if (!wallHeatFluxBf[patchi].coupled())
            {
                wallHeatFluxBf[patchi] -= radHeatFluxBf[patchi];
            }
        }
    }

    return twallHeatFlux;
}

This when compared to older versions e.g. 2.3.x is nonexistent. This means older versions calculated purely convection heat flux at wall (basic Fourier equation with calculated k for fluid).

How do I achieve this?

Question 2
How do I find out if the inclusion of radiation calculation at wall affects the flow field temperature or not? Or in other words, if radiation model is integrated in the solver or not? I get field temperature values much less than anticipated. Thus this question.
So the question is, is there a way I can turn off the radiation? If radiation is integrated in solver, this will definitely affect field temperature.

Any ideas? Need some clue.
