Detailed Description

Heat transfer coefficient calculation based on Reynolds Analogy, which is used to relate turbulent momentum and heat transfer.

The heat transfer coefficient is derived from the skin friction coefficient:

$C_f = \frac{\tau_w}{0.5 \rho_{ref} |U|^2}$

as:

$h = 0.5 \rho_{ref} c_{p,ref} |U_{ref}| C_f$

where

	=	Heat transfer coefficient [W/m^2/K]
$\rho_{ref}$	=	Reference fluid density [kg/m^3]
$c_{p,ref}$	=	Reference specific heat capacity at constant pressure [J/kg/K]
$U_{ref}$	=	Reference velocity [m/s]
	=	Skin friction coefficient [-]
$\tau_w$	=	Wall shear stress [m^2/s^2]

Usage

Minimal example by using system/controlDict.functions:

heatTransferCoeffFO
{
    // Inherited entries
    ...

    // Mandatory entries
    htcModel        ReynoldsAnalogy;
    UInf            <vector>;

    // Optional entries
    U               <word>;
    Cp              <word>;
    rho             <word>;

    // Conditional mandatory entries

        // when Cp == CpInf
        CpInf       <scalar>;

        // when rho == rhoInf
        rhoInf      <scalar>;
}

where the entries mean:

Property	Description	Type	Reqd	Deflt
`type`	Model name: ReynoldsAnalogy	word	yes	-
`UInf`	Reference velocity	vector	yes	-
`U`	Name of velocity field	word	no	U
`Cp`	Name of reference specific heat capacity	word	no	Cp
`CpInf`	Reference specific heat capacity value	scalar	choice	-
`rho`	Name of fluid density field	word	no	rho
`rhoInf`	Reference fluid density value	scalar	choice	-

Note

In order to use a reference Cp, set Cp to CpInf.
In order to use a reference rho, set rho to rhoInf.
