Class
    Foam::functionObjects::wallHeatFlux
 
Group
    grpForcesFunctionObjects
 
Description
    Computes the wall-heat flux at selected wall patches.
 
    \table
      Operand        | Type              | Location
      input          | -                 | -
      output file    | dat               <!--
                 --> | $FOAM_CASE/postProcessing/<FO>/<time>/<field>
      output field   | volScalarField (only boundaryField) <!--
                 --> | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<outField>
    \endtable
 
Usage
    Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
    \verbatim
    wallHeatFlux1
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        type        wallHeatFlux;
        libs        (fieldFunctionObjects);
 
        // Optional entries (runtime modifiable)
        patches     (<patch1> ... <patchN>); // (wall1 "(wall2|wall3)");
        qr          qr;
 
        // Optional (inherited) entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property     | Description                           | Type | Req'd | Dflt
      type         | Type name: wallHeatFlux               | word |  yes  | -
      libs         | Library name: fieldFunctionObjects    | word |  yes  | -
      patches    | Names of operand patches   | wordList | no | all wall patches
      qr         | Name of radiative heat flux field       | word | no | qr
    \endtable
 
    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
     - \link functionObject.H \endlink
     - \link writeFile.H \endlink
 
    Minimal example by using the \c postProcess utility:
    \verbatim
        <solver> -postProcess -func wallHeatFlux
    \endverbatim
