Description🔗
The lumpedMassWallTemperature
is a boundary condition that provides
a lumped mass model for temperature.
It considers a single temperature value for the whole patch and evaluates the temperature evolution using the net heat flux into the patch.
Usage🔗
The condition requires entries in both the boundary and field files.
Boundary file🔗
<patchName>
{
type patch;
...
}
Field file🔗
<patchName>
{
// Mandatory entries
type lumpedMassWallTemperature;
Cp <scalar>;
mass <scalar>;
// Inherited entries
...
}
where:
Property | Description | Type | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|---|
type |
Type name: lumpedMassWallTemperature
|
word | yes | - |
Cp |
Heat capacity [J/kg/K] | scalar | yes | - |
mass |
Total mass [kg] | scalar | yes | - |
The inherited entries are elaborated in:
- mixedFvPatchFields.H
- temperatureCoupledBase.H
