Time and Temperature dependant heat source term

Farsys · September 15, 2018, 02:19

Dear all
I'm new with fluent macros and i was wondering is there a way to write a both time and temperature dependant heat source term?
i have already used a time dependant one but what i wanted to know is that is it possible to use a temperature dependent term in my code or not,,

Tnx in advance

Yes, you can. Check the fluent UDF manual on C_T macro.

Dear blackmask
thanks for your reply but is it possible to use C_T macro for a solid zone?

#include "udf.h"
#define C1 -6.097e+05
#define C2 113.6
#define C3 2187
#define C4 0.004097
#define C5 -0.276
DEFINE_SOURCE(heat_gen,cell,thread,dS,eqn)
{
real source;
real time;
time = CURRENT_TIME;
source =C1+C2*time+C3*C_T(cell,thread)+C4*pow(time,2)+C5* time*C_T(cell,thread)
dS[eqn] = 0;
return source;

}

I have used this code for a time & temperature dependent heat source but when i compile it i get C:/Users/Farshad/AppData/Local/Temp/osso.c.7728.0.c: line 13: parse error.
i dont know what's wrong with it,can anyone help me out please?

You missed a ";" at the end of line 13.
