FVFunctorConvectiveHeatFluxBC

Convective heat transfer boundary condition with temperature and heat transfer coefficient given by functors.

Description

This boundary condition computes convective heat flux , where is the convective heat transfer coefficient, is the temperature, and is the far-field temperature. Both and are functors, which enables various spatial, variable and other dependences. The domain of the variable can be specified as either a fluid or a solid using the is_solid parameter. For a solid domain, the equation above is applied. For a fluid domain, the negative of the heat flux is applied. This allows for easier implementation of a double Robin boundary condition.

Example syntax

In this example, the FVFunctorConvectiveHeatFluxBC boundary condition forms a convective boundary condition between the fluid and the solid.
