Hot Cylinder: thermo type, turbulence model and Wall Nusselt Number? -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

February 4, 2016, 03:16	Hot Cylinder: thermo type, turbulence model and Wall Nusselt Number?	#1
Arijit New Member Arijit Join Date: Nov 2015 Posts: 3 Rep Power: 11	Hi I am new to OpenFOAM. I am trying to simulate an external flow (air flowing across a cylinder, wall of which is kept at a fixed temperature). I am using buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam solver and k-epsilon model (for Re 7960). I want to know which thermo type should I use for my purpose, what should be the simulation type in turbulenceProperties and how to calculate Wall Nusselt Number from wallHeatFlux utility. Any help is appreciated.
