Boundary condition convective boundary fluid-solid

I would like use boundary condition (sufraceGradient=k*(A-Ainf)), where k is constant, A is value at surface of solid and Ainf is value of air. I used groovyBC, it works, but are here other posibilities?

I would like calculate surface value A from other fields, and groovyBC uses only average values of other field.

Thanks
Richard

Hello, if i understood correctly fixedGradient is gradient between surface and central point.

Code:

                  x_p = x_c + \frac{\nabla(x)}{\Delta}   where   x_p      | patch values x_c      | internal field values \nabla(x)| gradient (user-specified) \Delta  | inverse distance from patch face centre to cell centre
Is any possibility how to set gradient between surface and ambient?
Thanks
Richard

Hello,
I used explicit scheme to calculate boundary values and then implicit scheme to calculate field centre values. It is conditionaly stable, but it works... :o

Does not exist easier method? :confused:
Something like using only half element on boundary, center point will be on boundary and will be solved with field values in matrix?
Thanks
Richard
