lumpedMassTemperatureFvPatchScalarField Class Reference

This boundary condition is applied to a patch which bounds a solid body, wholly or partially. It represents the body as a lumped mass, i.e. by a single temperature T which is fixed across the patch. The body has a volume V which is either specified by the user, or is calculated when the patch describes a closed volume (including in 2D meshes). Starting from an initial, specified T, the change in temperature is calculated over time according to an applied power source Q and the heat transferred across the boundary $Q_{b}$ (positive into the lumped mass): More...

Detailed Description

This boundary condition is applied to a patch which bounds a solid body, wholly or partially. It represents the body as a lumped mass, i.e. by a single temperature T which is fixed across the patch. The body has a volume V which is either specified by the user, or is calculated when the patch describes a closed volume (including in 2D meshes). Starting from an initial, specified T, the change in temperature is calculated over time according to an applied power source Q and the heat transferred across the boundary $Q_{b}$ (positive into the lumped mass):

\[ dT/dt = frac{Q + Q_{b}}{\rho C_{v} V} \]

where

$ Q $ = specified power source [W]
$ Q_{b} $ = total calculated heat transferred across the boundary [W]
$ \rho $ = density [kg/m^3]
$ C_{v} $ = specific heat capacity [J/(kg K)]
$ V $ = volume of the lumped mass [m^3}
Usage
Property Description Req'd? Default
rho density yes
Cv specific heat capacity yes
T temperature yes
Q power source no 0
volume volume of the lumped mass no calculated

Example of the boundary condition specification: 

    <patchName>
    {
        type       lumpedMassTemperature;
        rho        1000;
        Cv         1300;
        T          500;
        Q          constant 0.5;
        value      uniform $T; // placeholder
    }
