Hello All!

I am trying to simulate an example with a trubulentHeatFluxTemperature boundary condition. While I have successfully implemented this BC, I am wanting to introduce time dependent heat flux in table format, where one specifies time and the corresponding heat flux value. I believe it is doable for fields like T, U using uniformFixedValue type, I dont know how to do it while using trubulentHeatFluxTemperature type.

Please let me know how to recompile this BC type or related discussions.

Thanks.
Nikunj.

Hey Nikunj,

have you already found a way to do this? It's exactly the problem I'm facing right now.

Best regards,

Robert

Dear all ,

I 'm also facing this problem. I would like to define two linearly time dependent boundary conditions : a wall heat flux ( W/m^2) and a mixture gas mass flow rate (kg/s). For the heat flux , I was testing the compressible::turbulentHeatFluxTemperature boundary condition on the hot room tutorial case from tutorials/heatTransfer/buoyantPimpleFoam and I modified the Temperature boundary condition for the floor like this :

Code:
floor
    {
        type compressible::turbulentHeatFluxTemperature;
        heatSource flux; // flux for W/m^2
        q  tableFile;
        tableFileCoeffs
       {
         fileName   "/home/user/Openfoam/hotRoom/myDataFile.txt"
         outOfBounds   clamp;
      
       }
       kappa fluidThermo;
       Qr none;
       kappaName       none;
       value uniform 300;
       }
However this way does not seem to work as q expects the key word uniform with scalar value. May someone provide hints to do some time-dependent heat flux and mass flow rate BC ?

Thank you in advance !
