Comparing HTC between CFX and hand calculation.

turbotel · March 3, 2011, 07:28

We simulated a flow inside a volute(fluid domain) along with Turbine housing (solid domain) using CHT in CFX with massflow rate at inlet and static pressure at Outlet.
When the results of HTC are plotted over the interface of fluid domain we found that the values of HTC are very high values when compared with the hand calculated one. So, I need to know how HTC is calculated in CFX. Looking forward for response.

Thanks

Read the doc. Look for "tbulk for htc".
