compressible-thermalBaffle

Description

The compressible::thermalBaffle is a boundary condition that provides a coupled temperature condition between multiple mesh regions.

Usage

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

Boundary file

<patchName>
{
    type            patch;
    ...
}

Field file

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            thermalBaffle;

    // Optional entries
    internal        <bool>;

    // Inherited entries
    ...
}

where:

Property	Description	Type	Required	Default
type	Type name: compressible-thermalBaffle	word	yes	-
internal	Flag to deduce if the baffle is internal	bool	no	true

The inherited entries are elaborated in:

• turbulentTemperatureRadCoupledMixedFvPatchScalarField.H
• thermalBaffleModel.H
• extrudePatchMesh.H
