Detailed Description

Computes the heat transfer coefficient as a volScalarField for a set of patches.

The field is stored on the mesh database so that it can be retrieved and used for other applications.

Operands:

Operand	Type	Location
`input`	-	-
`output` file	-	-
`output` field	volScalarField	$FOAM_CASE/<time>/<outField>

Usage

Minimal example by using system/controlDict.functions:

heatTransferCoeff1
{
    // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
    type        heatTransferCoeff;
    libs        (fieldFunctionObjects);

    field       T;
    patches     ("walls.*");

    htcModel    ReynoldsAnalogy;
    UInf        (20 0 0);
    Cp          CpInf;
    CpInf       1000;
    rho         rhoInf;
    rhoInf      1.2;
}

Example usage for mode ReynoldsAnalogy for incompressible case:

heatTransferCoeff1
{
    // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
    type        heatTransferCoeff;
    libs        (fieldFunctionObjects);

    field       T;
    patches     ("walls.*");

    htcModel    ReynoldsAnalogy;
    UInf        (20 0 0);
    Cp          CpInf;
    CpInf       1000;
    rho         rhoInf;
    rhoInf      1.2;
}

Example usage for mode ReynoldsAnalogy for compressible case:

htc
{
    type        heatTransferCoeff;
    libs        (fieldFunctionObjects);

    field       T;
    patches     ("walls.*");

    htcModel    ReynoldsAnalogy;
    UInf        (20 0 0);
}

Example usage for mode localReferenceTemperature for compressible case:

htc
{
    type        heatTransferCoeff;
    libs        (fieldFunctionObjects);

    field       T;
    patches     ("walls.*");
    htcModel    localReferenceTemperature;
}

Example usage for mode fixedReferenceTemperature for compressible case:

htc
{
    type        heatTransferCoeff;
    libs        (fieldFunctionObjects);

    field       T;
    patches     ("walls.*");
    htcModel    fixedReferenceTemperature;
    TRef        300;
}

Options for the htcModel entry:

    ReynoldsAnalogy           | Reynold's analogy
    localReferenceTemperature | Local reference temperature
    fixedReferenceTemperature | Specified reference temperature

The inherited entries are elaborated in:

Usage by the postProcess utility is not available.
