Class Foam::fv::interRegionHeatTransfer Description Model for inter-region heat exchange. Requires specification of a model for the heat transfer coefficient (htc) and the area per unit volume (Av). These are then used to apply the following source to the energy equation: \f[ -htc*Av*(T_{nbr,mapped} - T) \f] If the semiImplicit option is set, then this becomes: \f[ -htc*Av*(T_{nbr,mapped} - T) + htc*Av/Cp*h - Sp(htc*Av/Cp, h); \f] Usage Example usage: \verbatim interRegionHeatTransfer { type interRegionHeatTransfer; libs ("libinterRegionFvModels.so"); nbrRegion other; owner true; interpolationMethod intersection; semiImplicit no; Av 200; heatTransferCoefficientModel constant; constant { htc 10; } } \endverbatim See also Foam::fv::heatTransferCoefficientModel SourceFiles interRegionHeatTransfer.C \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ #ifndef interRegionHeatTransfer_H #define interRegionHeatTransfer_H #include "interRegionModel.H" #include "heatTransferCoefficientModel.H" #include "heatTransferAv.H" // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // namespace Foam { namespace fv { /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*\ Class interRegionHeatTransfer Declaration \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ class interRegionHeatTransfer : public interRegionModel { // Private data //- Flag to activate semi-implicit coupling bool semiImplicit_; //- Name of temperature field; default = "T" word TName_; //- Name of neighbour temperature field; default = "T" word TNbrName_; //- The heat transfer area per unit volume autoPtr heatTransferAv_; //- The heat transfer model autoPtr heatTransferCoefficientModel_; // Private Member Functions //- Non-virtual readalpha* void readCoeffs(const dictionary& dict); public: //- Runtime type information TypeName("interRegionHeatTransfer"); // Constructors //- Construct from dictionary interRegionHeatTransfer ( const word& name, const word& modelType, const fvMesh& mesh, const dictionary& dict ); //- Destructor virtual ~interRegionHeatTransfer(); // Member Functions // Access //- Return the heat transfer coefficient inline const volScalarField& htc() const; // Checks //- Return the list of fields for which the fvModel adds source term // to the transport equation virtual wordList addSupFields() const; // Sources //- Source term to energy equation virtual void addSup ( const volScalarField& he, fvMatrix& eqn ) const; //- Source term to compressible energy equation virtual void addSup ( const volScalarField& rho, const volScalarField& he, fvMatrix& eqn ) const; // Correction //- Correct the model 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 dictionary virtual bool read(const dictionary& dict); }; // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // } // End namespace fv } // End namespace Foam // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // #endif // ************************************************************************* //
