Hello,
I'm setting up a multi-region heat exchange case and I have a question about the dimensions of turbulent thermal diffusion. According to the documentation (see link 1 and link 2) : Code:
alphat | Kinematic turbulent thermal conductivity [m2/s] However, in the tutorials, I found that the units are given as kg/m/s: Code:
FoamFile { format binary; class volScalarField; location "0/fluid"; object alphat; } // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // dimensions [ 1 -1 -1 0 0 0 0 ]; I'm also found a post with the same question, but without an answer. Useful links: https://cfd.direct/openfoam/free-sof...or-the-future/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbul...Eddy_viscosity |
