Class Foam::fv::solidElectricalConduction Description This fvModel represents conduction through a solid region. It solves for the electric potential, calculates the current, and applies the corresponding Joule heating source to the energy equation. It requires the user to specify the electric potential field \c phi in the zero directory. Usage Example usage with a constant scalar conductivity: \verbatim solidElectricalConduction { type solidElectricalConduction; sigma 35.5e6; // <-- 'sigma' is also accepted } \endverbatim Example usage with a constant tensor conductivity: \verbatim solidElectricalConduction { type solidElectricalConduction; sigma (35.5e6 0 0 0 35.5e6 0 0 0 35.5e6); } \endverbatim Example usage with a functional scalar conductivity, and writing the conductivity out for post-processing: \verbatim solidElectricalConduction { type solidElectricalConduction; sigma { type distanceFunction; function { type polynomial; coeffs (35.5e6 1e9); } direction (0 1 0); } writeSigma yes; } \endverbatim SourceFiles solidElectricalConduction.C \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ #ifndef solidElectricalConduction_H #define solidElectricalConduction_H #include "fvModel.H" #include "volFields.H" #include "surfaceFields.H" #include "FunctionalGeometricFieldFwd.H" // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // namespace Foam { namespace fv { /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*\ Class solidElectricalConduction Declaration \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ class solidElectricalConduction : public fvModel { // Private Data //- The electric potential volScalarField phi_; //- The current surfaceScalarField I_; //- The scalar conductivity autoPtr> sigmaScalarPtr_; //- The tensor conductivity autoPtr> sigmaTensorPtr_; //- Write the conductivity? bool writeSigma_; //- Has the mesh changed since the last solution? bool meshChanged_; // Private Member Functions //- Non-virtual read void readCoeffs(const dictionary& dict); public: //- Runtime type information TypeName("solidElectricalConduction"); // Constructors //- Construct from explicit source name and mesh solidElectricalConduction ( const word& name, const word& modelType, const fvMesh& mesh, const dictionary& dict ); //- Disallow default bitwise copy construction solidElectricalConduction(const solidElectricalConduction&) = delete; // Member Functions // Checks //- Return the list of fields for which the fvModel adds source term // to the transport equation virtual wordList addSupFields() const; // Evaluate //- Add explicit contribution to compressible energy equation virtual void addSup ( const volScalarField& rho, const volScalarField& he, fvMatrix& eqn ) const; //- Solve for the electric potential virtual void correct(); // Mesh changes //- Update for mesh motion virtual bool movePoints(); //- Update topology using the given map virtual void topoChange(const polyTopoChangeMap&); //- Update from another mesh using the given map virtual void mapMesh(const polyMeshMap&); //- Redistribute or update using the given distribution map virtual void distribute(const polyDistributionMap&); // IO //- Read source dictionary virtual bool read(const dictionary& dict); //- Write fvModel data virtual bool write(const bool write = true) const; // Member Operators //- Disallow default bitwise assignment void operator=(const solidElectricalConduction&) = delete; }; // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // } // End namespace fv } // End namespace Foam // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // #endif // ************************************************************************* //
