Hi everybody,

since last week i have a new job and i will use OpenFOAM daily. I am novice in the use of OF so i will ask you regularly some questions. Thanks for your help.
Firstly, i had use openFOAM with the test-case "coaxial cylinder" and i don't obtain the same results than the guy who work in my position previously when i use the function WallHeatFlux. But i use his own files !
So my question is :
Is there options on WallHeatFlux that i don't know ? If the answer is no, what could be the reason of this difference.

For informations, i use OF 2.1.0 for the moment but i will upgrade it to the 2.3.0 version soon.

Thanks you all.

You can always try searching the threads first, I assume you didn't here's the search using google for the "WallHeatFlux".

You can also check the source if you haven't

and this

Hope it helps.

As for parameters those are usually documented in the comments of the header file.
