How to apply convective heat transfer coefficent

July 5, 2002, 11:17

Hi, everyone! I'm simulating the interaction between inert discrete particles and hot gas. How should I apply the convective heat transfer coefficent? It seems fluent doesn't provide us this kind of physical property for materials. Thank you!!!

HT Coeff. is a boundary condition, not a physical property.

Usually, what you want to do is to use CFD to estimate HTC on the walls. Then you use these HTC's as boundary conditions for thermal or stress analysis on the solid side.
