hmm ... don't know.

but i think that's a problem, couse you can not decline some thermophysicalProperties for a solid. Just for fluids you can declare it.

good question.
I 'm trying on a case today afternoon (chtMulti) with one fluid and solid region. Hope i can calculate the wallFlux with the post tool.

i ll give an replay about it.
see you later.

Tobi

Question:

how did you successful start wallHeatFlux on the fluid region?

you put every file into another folder or? And generate a "virtual" case for you post tool?


-> i did a simulation yesterday with one fluid and solid region. Solved it an put every fluid file in another folder. After using wallHeatFluxLaminar i got those message:

Code:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
Unknown patchField type compressible::turbulentTemperatureCoupledBaffleMixed for patch type directMappedWallValid patchField types are :
42
(
advective
buoyantPressure
calculated
cyclic
directMapped
directionMixed



then i changed the patchField type to directMapped with the tool changeDictionary.

After that i got the message

Code:
--> FOAM FATAL ERROR: 
compound has already been transfered from token
    on line 20 the empty compound of type List<scalar>

    From function token::transferCompoundToken()
    in file lnInclude/token.C at line 95.

FOAM aborting



How did you get your wallHeatFlux in you fluid region?
Did you use another wallHeatFlux - post Tool?

regards Tobi

I've tried the wallHeatFluxRho utility from a previous post in this thread, and I've copied all files from fluid zone to a new directory (0, 5000, constant, system) in which I use the utility.

Hope this helps you.

sure, ... i 've tried it with that tool, too.

What 's your T - File ?

Hi Tobi,
Since I'm not at the office, I haven't got the needed file. However, I've posted my case here (if you have any hint on this subject, I'd be glad to have your advice )

Hey Nicolas,

short question. Did you get the wallHeatFlux calculated at the surfaces:

" fluid_air_to_solid_cable " and " fluid_air_to_solid_beton ".

Hello everyone,
I would like to have the convective heat transfer on a wall patch. Following from the definition: alpha = wallHeatFlux / (T_wall-T_ref). This can be obtained with the use of ParaFoam, see here. What about if I modify wallHeatFluxLaminar in order to calculate alpha at the end of my simulation? This is what I would do:
Code:
forAll(wallAlphaCoeff.boundaryField(), patchi)
        {
                wallAlphaCoeff.boundaryField()[patchi] =
                    wallHeatFlux.boundaryField()[patchi]
                        /(T.boundaryField()[patchi] - Tref);
        }
where:
Code:
dimensionedScalar Tref 
( 
transportProperties.lookup("Tref") 
);
However, this has two main problems:
  1. OpenFOAM complains about the T.boundaryField()[patchi] - Tref implementation. It does not like the - operator, but how should I write it?
  2. If I will have a division by zero. Thus I should add something like:
Code:
forAll(wallAlphaCoeff.boundaryField(), patchi)
if T.boundaryField()[patchi] == Tref
      wallAlphaCoeff.boundaryField()[patchi] = 0.0;
else
      {
                wallAlphaCoeff.boundaryField()[patchi] =
                    wallHeatFlux.boundaryField()[patchi]
                        /(T.boundaryField()[patchi] - Tref);
        }
Of course, this is not written in a correct way. Is there anyone that can help me to understand what I am doing wrong?
