thermalShell

Description

The compressible::thermalShell is a boundary condition that provides a coupled temperature condition between a primary region (3D mesh) and a thermal shell model (2D mesh).

The primary region boundary creates the finite area region and evolves its energy equation.

Usage

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

Boundary file

<patchName>
{
    type            patch;
    ...
}

Field file

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            thermalShell;

    // Inherited entries
    ...
}

where:

Property	Description	Type	Required	Default
type	Type name: compressible::thermalShell	word	yes	-

The inherited entries are elaborated in:

• fixedValueFvPatchField.H
• thermalShellModel.H
