UDF and experimental data in Fluent

Rogerio Fernandes Brito

Hi people,

do you know how to make a UDF code (name.C file), for using in Fluent 6.3.26 software to impose a experimental data of heat flux and time?

I´m studying a solid heat conducting problem with 2 types of boundary conditions. As boundary conditions, it was considered that almost all the faces of my domain were submitted to a constant convection heat transfer coefficient (h = 20 [W/m²K]) and one face was submitted to a heat flux [W m^-2] varying in the time [s].

These are my experimental data:

t [s] q" [W m^-2] => 0 0.00000000000000000 0.222 0.00000000000000000 0.444 0.00000000000000000 0.666 0.00000000000000000 0.888 0.00000000000000000 1.11 0.00000000000000000 1.332 0.00000000000000000
