We have a turbulent flow in a channel for which we would like to plot the axial variation of bulk temperature from inlet to outlet. The bulk temperature at a given axial location is the mass flow averaged temperature on a plane normal to the axial direction.<\/p>\n
We want to do this in Fluent (in order to use the local bulk temperature as the T_ref in a local heat transfer coefficient calculation). Can you please tell me how we do the local bulk temperature calculation on a plane and then how to use it in a local heat transfer coefficient calculation.<\/p>\n
(Aside: We did this type of calculation in the past in CFX using its Perl-like scripting language (a CCL Power Syntax Macro) with a loop that created local planes marching from the inlet to the outlet.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-373079","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["183469","199"],"_bbp_author_ip":["142.161.89.147"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["207"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["373079"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","183469"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["6"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["374503"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["374503"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-07-31 13:36:20"]},"test":"sjormiston"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/373079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/373079\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
