Class Foam::fv::heatTransferCoefficientModels::variable Description Variable heat transfer model depending on local values. The Nusselt number is calculated as: \f[ Nu = a*Re^b*Pr^c \f] And the heat transfer coefficient is calculated as: \f[ htc = Nu*\kappa/L \f] Where: \vartable \kappa | Conductivity L | Length scale \endvartable Usage Example usage: \verbatim { heatTransferCoefficientModel variable; a 1; b 2; c 3; Pr 0.7; L 1e-3; } \endverbatim \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ #ifndef variable_heatTransferCoefficientModel_H #define variable_heatTransferCoefficientModel_H #include "heatTransferCoefficientModel.H" // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // namespace Foam { namespace fv { namespace heatTransferCoefficientModels { /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*\ Class variable Declaration \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ class variable : public heatTransferCoefficientModel { // Private Data //- Name of neighbour velocity field; default = U word UName_; //- Model constant scalar a_; //- Model constant scalar b_; //- Model constant scalar c_; //- Length scale dimensionedScalar L_; //- Fluid Prandtl number dimensionedScalar Pr_; //- Heat transfer coefficient [W/m^2/K] volScalarField htc_; // Private Member Functions //- Non-virtual read void readCoeffs(const dictionary& dict); public: //- Runtime type information TypeName("variable"); // Constructors //- Construct from dictionary and mesh variable(const dictionary& dict, const fvMesh& mesh); //- Construct from dictionary and model variable(const dictionary& dict, const interRegionModel& model); //- Destructor virtual ~variable(); // Member Functions //- Get the heat transfer coefficient virtual tmp htc() const { return htc_; } //- Correct the heat transfer coefficient virtual void correct(); //- Read dictionary virtual bool read(const dictionary& dict); }; // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // } // End namespace heatTransferCoefficientModels } // End namespace fv } // End namespace Foam // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // #endif // ************************************************************************* //
