filmPyrolysisTemperatureCoupled

Description

The filmPyrolysisTemperatureCoupled is boundary condition designed to be used in conjunction with surface film and pyrolysis modelling. It provides a temperature boundary condition for patches on the primary region based on whether the patch is seen to be 'wet', retrieved from the film alpha field.

Usage

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

Boundary file

<patchName>
{
    type            patch;
    ...
}

Field file

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            filmPyrolysisTemperatureCoupled;

    // Optional entries
    filmRegion      <word>;
    pyrolysisRegion  <word>;
    phi             <word>;
    rho             <word>;

    // Inherited entries
    ...
}
