The maximum number of iterations can be set by WALLMODEL_MAXITER and the relaxation factor can be set with WALLMODEL_RELFAC. The universal law of the wall is an implicit function and a Newton iterator is used to determine \(u^+(y^+)\). the upper limit that can be used depends on (and increases with) the Reynolds number. Note that in principle, this implementation is valid for any \(y^+ < 100-500\) and will also work correctly for very small values of \(y^+\). The setting WALLMODEL_MINYPLUS= 5 will activate the wall model only when the local value of \(y^+\) is higher than the value given (default: 5).

The constants are supposed to be universal, and do not change. The constant WALLMODEL_KAPPA is the von Karman constant, and WALLMODEL_B is an additional constant describing the universal ‘law of the wall’. The option format is the marker name followed by the value of the heat-transfer coefficient (in Watts per square meter and Kelvin ,) and the value of the Temperature at infinity (in Kelvin ), e.g. The heatflux q computes to q = h(T_inf - T_wall), where T_wall is the local wall temperature and therefore no user input. NAVIER_STOKES, RANS, INC_NAVIER_STOKES, INC_RANSĪ wall with a prescribed locally variable heatflux via a heat transfer coefficient and and a Temperature at infinity (or reservoir Temperature) is defined with the MARKER_HEATTRANSFER option. Heat Transfer or Convection (no-slip) Wall Solver INTEGRATED_HEATFLUX is not available for FEM_NAVIER_STOKES.Typically Navier-Stokes and RANS simulations are setup with adiabatic walls (heatflux = 0).In the case of a DOE or an optimization this prescription of a rate of heat flow might be the more natural boundary condition. When additionally using the INTEGRATED_HEATFLUX= YES option. not the FEM_* solvers, its implementation is identical to MARKER_SYM solvers and both options can be used interchangeably. Only the marker name has to be given for this option.įor all Finite Volume (FVM) solvers, i.e. It can also be used as a slip wall in viscous flow. Thermochemical Nonequilibrium Supersonic InletĮULER, NAVIER_STOKES, RANS, INC_EULER, INC_NAVIER_STOKES, INC_RANS, FEM_EULER, FEM_NAVIER_STOKESĪn Euler wall for inviscid flow is defined with the MARKER_EULER option.Heat Transfer or Convection (no-slip) Wall.Below you will find a list of the most common boundary conditions along with a short description.

Boundary conditions are defined by assigning names of the markers to the corresponding option. The term Marker refers to a named entity in your mesh file.
