Radiation and Convective heat loss Boundary conditions on a (ONE) wall

Struggle_Achieve · February 29, 2016, 04:23

Hello foamers!
Greetings

I am quite new to OF. Trying to learn it from last 2 months, I know that convective heat flux boundary condition (BC) can be implemented using externalWallHeatFluxTemperature BC but in my problem there is heat loss due to radiation also.
I would be very grateful if anyone can help me out about the BC which will incorporate both convective and radiative heat losses from a same wall.

Regards,
Prateek.

Hello Again,

I would be highly obliged to get a reply on this as my work is struck because of it.

Is this even possible to have both convective and radiative BC on a same wall?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Singh.

Hey Hello Once Again,

Feels funny to talk to myself

But I have decided to use the GROOVY BC for this Case..

"type groovyBC;
variables "h=XYZ;k=XYZ';sigma=5.6e-7;E=XYZ";Tinf=XYZ"';";
gradientExpression "h/k*(T-Tinf)+(sigma/k)*E*(T-Tinf)*(T-Tinf)*(T-Tinf)*(T-Tinf)";
fractionExpression "0";
"
USE SMALL TIME STEPS!

Regards,

Singh.
