Class
    Foam::functionObjects::thermoCoupleProbes
 
Group
    grpUtilitiesFunctionObjects
 
Description
    Sample probe for temperature using a thermocouple.
 
    Uses the correlation:
 
    \f[
        Nu = 2.0 + \left(0.4 Re^{0.5} + 0.06 Re^{2/3}\right)*Pr^{0.4}
    \f]
 
Usage
    Example of function object specification:
    \verbatim
    probes
    {
        type            thermoCoupleProbes;
        libs            (utilityFunctionObjects);
        writeControl    timeStep;
        writeInterval   1;
 
        solver          rodas23;
        absTol          1e-12;
        relTol          1e-8;
 
        interpolationScheme cellPoint;
 
        // thermocouple properties
        rho             8908;
        Cp              440;
        d               1e-3;
        epsilon         0.85;
 
        radiationField  G;
 
        probeLocations
        (
            (0.5 0.5 0.5)
        );
        fields
        (
            T
        );
    }
