Detailed Description

This boundary condition supplies a heat flux condition for temperature on an external wall. Optional thin thermal layer resistances can be specified through thicknessLayers and kappaLayers entries for the fixed heat transfer coefficient mode.

The condition can operate in two modes:

where:

$ h $ = heat transfer coefficient [W/m^2/K]
$ Ta $ = ambient temperature [K]
$ q $ = heat flux [W/m^2]

The thermal conductivity kappa can either be retrieved from various possible sources, as detailed in the class temperatureCoupledBase.

Usage
Property Description Required Default value
q heat flux [W/m^2] yes*
Ta ambient temperature [K] yes*
h heat transfer coefficient [W/m^2/K] yes*
thicknessLayers list of thicknesses per layer [m] yes
kappaLayers list of thermal conductivities per layer [W/m/K] yes
Qr name of the radiative field no no
relaxation relaxation factor for radiative field no 1
kappaMethod inherited from temperatureCoupledBase inherited
kappa inherited from temperatureCoupledBase inherited

Example of the boundary condition specification:

    <patchName>
    {
        type            externalWallHeatFluxTemperature;
        q               uniform 1000;
        Ta              uniform 300.0;
        h               uniform 10.0;
        thicknessLayers (0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4);
        kappaLayers     (1 2 3 4);
        value           uniform 300.0;
        Qr              none;
        relaxation      1;
        kappaMethod           fluidThermo;
        kappa       none;
    }
