Description🔗

The wideBandDiffusiveRadiation is a mixed boundary condition that provides a wide-band, diffusive radiation condition, where the patch temperature is specified.

Usage🔗

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

Boundary file🔗

<patchName>
{
    type            patch;
    ...
}

Field file🔗

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            wideBandDiffusiveRadiation;

    // Inherited entries
    ...
}

where:

The inherited entries are elaborated in:

• mixedFvPatchFields.H
