Even if the gradient is negative , I am squaring and rooting the x,y,z gradients and adding them in UDMI 3 right? It aint supposed to be the issue. However when I tried writing the heat source using DEFINE_PROFILE and used begin_f_loop , it worked (although I couldnt add any multiplying factor and gradient UDMI) . I need to multiply the "factor" and "UDMI" in order to convert the surface heat source to volumetric heat source.

 

CODE : ( This heats up both my gasesous and solid phase , which I dont want)

 

#include "udf.h"

DEFINE_PROFILE(heat_source_profile, thread, position)

{

    real x[ND_ND];

    face_t f;

    real current_time;

    real Q = 120; // Define your heat source magnitude (Watts)

    real rx = 5.3e-5; // Define your desired values for rx, ry, rz (meters)

    real ry = 250e-6;

    real rz = 5.3e-5;

    real A;

    real vel = 0.1e-3; // velocity @ m/s

    real PI = 3.1416;

    real x_pos;

    real x_start = 0; // Set your desired starting position in x (m)

    real y_start = 0.2e-3; // Set your desired starting position in y (m)

    real z_start = 0.1e-3; // Set your desired starting position in z (m)

 

   

    real x_local, y_local, z_local; // Declare local coordinates

 

   

    current_time = CURRENT_TIME;

    A = (6 * sqrt(3) * Q) / (PI * sqrt(PI) * rx * ry * rz);

    x_local = 0.0; // Initialize x_local outside the loop

    y_local = 0.0; // Initialize y_local outside the loop

    z_local = 0.0; // Initialize z_local outside the loop

   

    begin_f_loop(f, thread)

    {

        F_CENTROID(x, f, thread);

       

        // Transform global coordinates to local coordinates

        x_local = x[0] - x_start;

        y_local = x[1] - y_start;

        z_local = x[2] - z_start;

       

        x_pos = vel * current_time;

     

       

       

        // Compute the heat source function value

       

         F_PROFILE(f, thread, position) = A * exp(-3 * (pow(x_local - x_pos, 2.) / pow(rx, 2.) + pow(y_local, 2.) / pow(ry, 2.) + pow(z_local, 2.) / pow(rz, 2.)));

         

         

    }

    end_f_loop(f, thread)

}
