Description

The incompressible::alphatJayatillekeWallFunction is boundary condition that provides a kinematic turbulent thermal conductivity for using wall functions, using the Jayatilleke ā€˜Pā€™ function.

Usage

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

Boundary file

<patchName>
{
    type            wall;
    ...
}

Field file

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            alphatJayatillekeWallFunction;
    Prt             <scalar>;

    // Optional entries
    kappa           <scalar>;
    E               <scalar>;

    // Inherited entries
    ...
}

where:

Property Description Type Required Default
type Type name: alphatJayatillekeWallFunction word yes -
Prt Turbulent Prandtl number scalar yes -
kappa von Karman constant scalar no 0.41
E Wall roughness parameter scalar no 9.8
