Heat flux boundary in incompresible solver
2 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone
I simulated a case in wich I have a wall with a heat flux (q=2000 W/m2) using pimpleFoam, I fix a boundary condition as a fixGradient in the next way:
Code:
plate
{
type fixedGradient; //fixed heat flux b.c.
gradient uniform 2000;
}
I postprocesed the data using Plot over Line in Paraview so as to get h (convective coefficient), I extract the T_i results and then I calculate h=q/(T_inf-T_i). My question is, It possible to calculate in that way? or I should have to calcule with other stepts or in other way, because when I calculate that I get some results (figure 1) arround 20 times the expected value. (figure 2).
It is correct to used that boundary in a scalar transport temperature file in that way? Thanks |
