Description

The alphatFixedDmdtWallBoilingWallFunction is a boundary condition that provides a simple alphatPhaseChangeJayatillekeWallFunction condition with a fixed volumetric phase-change mass flux.

Usage

The condition requires entries in both the boundary and field files.

Boundary file

<patchName>
{
    type            patch;
    ...
}

Field file

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type         compressible::alphatFixedDmdtWallBoilingWallFunction;
    vaporPhase   <word>;

    // Optional entries
    relax        <scalar>;
    fixedDmdt    <scalar>;
    L            <scalar>;

    // Inherited entries
    ...
}

where:

Property Description Type Required Default
type Type name: compressible::alphatFixedDmdtWallBoilingWallFunction word yes -
vaporPhase Name of the vapor phase word yes -
relax Relaxation factor for dmdt scalar no 1.0
fixedDmdt Volumetric phase-change mass flux in near wall cells scalar no 0.0
L Latent heat scalar no 0.0
