Surface film coefficient

Juan Iradier

Hello,

 

I am performing a heat transfer simulation on acuSolve and I want to get the convection coefficient. I suppose that the surface film coefficient refers to that, but how is it calculated? I know that in ansys fluent is calculated this way:  

Thank you

Please review the 'AcuTherm' section in the AcuSolve Help System - under AcuSolve Programs Reference Manual > Post-Processing Programs > AcuTherm.  The surface_film_coefficient is essentially Method 3 on that page, using the default of Y+ = 100.  This is dependent only on the turbulent flow solution.
