Access cell coordinates and wall data in posdat.f

July 13, 2005, 08:07

Hi everyone. I am trying to calculate the mean fluid temperature in a cross section of my channel and the heat transfer coefficient on the wall as well. Does anybody knows if it is possible to access cell-centre coorinates and wall data (e.g. heat flux on the wall) in posdat.f or if it is possible to calculate it in some other user subroutine? Please give me any advice if you can. Thank you

The following common block is where the coordinates are stored.

COMMON /DCO21/ CX(3,-NBMAX:NCTMAX)

Thank you very much for your help. Is there any documentation/tutorial/guide/excercise about common blocks except their names in $STARDIR/solve/folder? It would by great, if i could somehow get TORHF (heat flux) in posdat.f too.

Unfortunately there is'nt. The only documentation I know of is something they give you if you go for the user suboutine training course.

oh, that's bad. What's your opinion, is it worth to take a part on that course? I mean, does it realy help?

For having taken part to the course, it helped me a lot. Especially the part concerning parallel programming.
