};

• U = (optional, default “U”) name of the finite volume fluid velocity field

• T = name of the finite volume scalar temperature field

• voidfraction = (optional, default “voidfraction”) name of the finite volume voidfraction field

• Temp = name of the DEM data representing the particles temperature

• convectiveHeatFlux = name of the DEM data representing the particle-fluid convective heat flux

• heatTransCoeff = name of heat transfer coefficient

• heatFluid = scalar1 = fluid thermal conductivity [W/(m*K)]. Must be chosen >= 0! If 0, then heat transfer is ignored.

• scalar2 = fluid specific heat capacity [W*s/(kg*K)]

• switch1 = (optional, normally off) flag to use interpolated voidfraction and fluid velocity values

• type1 = (optional, default cellPoint) interpolation type for T field

• switch2 = (optional, default false) sub model switch, see forceSubModel for details

• scalar3 = (optional) limit maximal turbulence

• scalar4 = scaling of particle diameter: d_sim=scale*d_real. d_sim=(potentially coarse grained) particle diameter. scale=coarse graining factor. d_real= particle diameter as it is measured.

• switch3 = (optional, default false) sub model switch, see forceSubModel for details

• scalar5 = optional, only if switch3 is true

NuCorrelation = (optional, default=”LiMason”) chooses the heat correlation to be used for Nusselt number correlation. Valid options: ‘LiMason’, ‘Deen’.:l

Examples

    velFieldName "U";
    tempFieldName "T";
    voidfractionFieldName "voidfraction";

}

Description

This “forceModel” does not influence the particles or the fluid flow! Using the particles’ temperature a scalar field representing “particle-fluid heatflux” is calculated. The solver then uses this source field in the scalar transport equation for the temperature. The model for convective heat transfer is based on Li and Mason (2000), A computational investigation of transient heat transfer in pneumatic transport of granular particles, Pow.Tech 112

Restrictions

Goes only with cfdemSolverScalar and cfdemSolverReacting.
