wallHeatTransfer

Description

The wallHeatTransfer is a boundary condition that provides an enthalpy condition for wall heat transfer.

Usage

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

Boundary file

<patchName>
{
    type            patch;
    ...
}

Field file

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            wallHeatTransfer;
    Tinf            <scalarField>;
    alphaWall       <scalarField>;

    // Inherited entries
    ...
}

where:

Property	Description	Type	Required	Default
type	Type name: wallHeatTransfer	word	yes	-
Tinf	Temperature at the wall	scalarList	yes	-
alphaWall	Thermal diffusivity at the wall	scalarList	yes	-

The inherited entries are elaborated in:
