Description

The outletMappedUniformInletHeatAddition is a boundary condition that provides a temperature boundary condition averages the temperature over the “outlet” patch specified by name “outletPatchName” and applies an extra heat source. This is set as a uniform temperature value on this patch.

Usage

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

Boundary file 

<patchName>
{
    type            patch;
    ...
}

Field file 

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            outletMappedUniformInletHeatAddition;
    outletPatch     <word>;
    Q               <scalar>;

    // Optional entries
    phi             <word>;
    TMin            <scalar>;
    TMax            <scalar>;

    // Inherited entries
    ...
}

where:

Property Description Type Required Default
type Type name: outletMappedUniformInletHeatAddition word yes -
outletPatch Name of the outlet patch to be mapped word yes -
Q Heat addition [W] scalar yes -
phi Name of flux field word no phi
TMin Minimum temperature limit scalar no 0
TMax Maximum temperature limit scalar no 5000
