Properties🔗

• Wrapper around the fixedValue condition to set the static temperature from a definition of the total temperature
• Applicable to the temperature field

Usage🔗

The condition sets the temperature at the patch \(T_p\) based on a specification of the total temperature, \(T_0\):

\[T_p = \frac{T_0}{1 + \frac{\gamma - 1}{2 \gamma} \psi \mag{\u}^2}\]

The Field file entries:

<patchName>
{
    type            totalTemperature;
    gamma           1.4;
    T0              uniform 800;

    // Optional entries
    U               U;
    phi             phi;
    psi             thermo:psi;
}
