Detailed Description

Heat transfer coefficient calculation that employs a fixed reference temperature.

The heat transfer coefficient is specified by:

\[ h = \frac{q}{T_{ref} - T_w} \]

where

\( h \) = Convective heat transfer coefficient of the flow [W/(m2 K)]
\( q \) = Heat flux [W/m2]
\( T_{ref} \) = Reference temperature of surrounding fluid [K]
\( T_w \) = Patch temperature [K]
Usage
Minimal example by using system/controlDict.functions:
heatTransferCoeff1
{
    // Mandatory and other optional entries
    ...
    htcModel        fixedReferenceTemperature;

    // Conditional mandatory entries (runtime modifiable)
    Tref            0;
}

where the entries mean:

Property Description Type Reqd Dflt
type Model name: fixedReferenceTemperature word yes -
Tref Reference temperature of surrounding fluid scalar yes -
