Constant heat flux boundary condition with phase splitting for fluid and solid energy equations
Description
Boundary condition splitting a constant heat flux among a two-phase fluid and solid domain based on a number of different models. There is no general consensus on the best boundary condition for all flows, and virtually all models for splitting a constant heat flux among multiple phases are quite crude (Alazmi and Vafai, 2002).
By setting phase = fluid
, this boundary condition specifies the heat flux in the fluid energy conservation equation as
where
where is the total heat flux specified by the value
parameter, is the fluid-phase value of and is the solid-phase value of . is a placeholder to be discussed shortly.
By setting phase = solid
, this boundary condition specifies the heat flux in the solid energy conservation equation as
where
The splitting
parameter determines the form of ; the heat flux split can be assigned based on
porosity, in which case and
effective thermal conductivity, in which case and
thermal conductivity, in which case and
may also be calculated either from the local value at the wall by setting locality = local
or from a domain-averaging postprocessor by setting locality = global
. For instance, it is well known that the porosity at the wall is unity due to point contacts between pebbles and the wall; if splitting the heat flux based on the porosity, the unity porosity would result in the entire heat flux depositing in the fluid phase, when in reality the combined conduction, convection, and radiation processes always result in heat deposition into both phases. The locality
parameter attempts to capture some of this phasic behavior independent of the closures precisely at the wall.
This boundary condition does not specify the interpretation of what constitutes the domain, so you may choose for the global values to represent averages over the entire geometry, or possibly a finite-width region near the wall.
For the following combinations of splitting method and locality, the following parameters must be provided: - splitting = porosity
, locality = local
: porosity
coupled variable - splitting = porosity
, locality = global
: average_porosity
postprocessor - splitting = thermal_conductivity
, locality = local
: nothing, material property grabs don't require user input - splitting = thermal_conductivity
, locality = global
: average_k_fluid
and average_k_solid
postprocessors - splitting = effective_thermal_conductivity
, locality = local
: porosity
coupled variable due to internal representation of as , where . - splitting = effective_thermal_conductivity
, locality = global
: average_kappa
and average_kappa_solid
postprocessors, as well as average_eps
postprocessor due to internal representation of as .
! alert note To protect against cases where at the first time step the thermal conductivity or effective thermal conductivity might not have yet been initialized, or cases where the coupled postprocessors have not yet been evaluated, we use an equal flux splitting.
