Class Foam::externalTemperatureFvPatchScalarField Description This boundary condition applies a heat flux condition to temperature on an external wall. Heat flux can be specified in the following ways: - Fixed power: requires \c Q - Fixed heat flux: requires \c q - Fixed heat transfer coefficient: requires \c h and \c Ta where: \vartable Q | Power Function1 of time [W] q | Heat flux Function1 of time [W/m^2] h | Heat transfer coefficient DimensionedFieldFunction [W/m^2/K] Ta | Ambient temperature Function1 of time [K] \endvartable Only one of \c Q or \c q may be specified, if \c h and \c Ta are also specified the corresponding heat-flux is added. The patch thermal conductivity \c kappa is obtained from the region thermophysicalTransportModel so that this boundary condition can be applied directly to either fluid or solid regions. Usage \table Property | Description | Required | Default value Q | Power [W] | no | q | Heat flux [W/m^2] | no | h | Heat transfer coefficient [W/m^2/K] | no | Ta | Ambient temperature [K] | if h is given | relaxation | Relaxation for the wall temperature | no | 1 emissivity | Surface emissivity for radiative flux to ambient | no | 0 qr | Name of the radiative field | no | none qrRelaxation | Relaxation factor for radiative field | no | 1 \endtable Example of the boundary condition specification: \verbatim { type externalTemperature; Ta constant 300.0; h uniform 10.0; value $internalField; } \endverbatim See also Foam::mixedFvPatchScalarField Foam::Function1 SourceFiles externalTemperatureFvPatchScalarField.C \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ #ifndef externalTemperatureFvPatchScalarField_H #define externalTemperatureFvPatchScalarField_H #include "mixedFvPatchFields.H" #include "Function1.H" #include "FunctionalDimensionedFieldFwd.H" // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // namespace Foam { /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*\ Class externalTemperatureFvPatchScalarField Declaration \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ class externalTemperatureFvPatchScalarField : public mixedFvPatchScalarField { // Private Data // Heat power //- Do we have a heat power? bool haveQ_; //- Heat power [W] autoPtr> Q_; // Heat flux //- Do we have a heat flux? bool haveq_; //- Heat flux [W/m^2] autoPtr> q_; // Heat transfer coefficient //- Heat transfer coefficient [W/m^2K] autoPtr> h_; //- Do we have an emissivity? const bool haveEmissivity_; //- Optional surface emissivity for radiative transfer to ambient scalar emissivity_; //- Ambient temperature [K] autoPtr> Ta_; //- Relaxation factor for the wall temperature (thermal inertia) scalar relax_; // Radiation //- Name of the radiative heat flux const word qrName_; //- Relaxation factor for qr scalar qrRelax_; //- Cache qr for relaxation scalarField qrPrevious_; protected: // Protected Member Functions //- Plus-equals op for a tmp field.
