Detailed Description

Sample probe for temperature using a thermocouple.

Uses the correlation:

$\‍[ Nu = 2.0 + \left(0.4 Re^{0.5} + 0.06 Re^{2/3}\right)*Pr^{0.4} \‍]$

Usage

Minimal example by using system/controlDict.functions:

thermoCoupleProbesFO
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            thermoCoupleProbes;
    libs            (utilityFunctionObjects);
    radiationField  <word>;  // G;

    rho             <scalar>;
    Cp              <scalar>;
    d               <scalar>;
    epsilon         <scalar>;

    // Optional entries
    U               <word>;

    // Inherited entries
    probeLocations  (<vectorList>);
    fields          (<wordList>);
    ...
}

where the entries mean:

Property	Description	Type	Reqd	Deflt
`type`	Type name: systemCall	word	yes	-
`libs`	Library name: utilityFunctionObjects	word	yes	-
`radiationField`	Name of the radiation field	word	yes	-
`rho`	Thermocouple density	scalar	yes	-
`Cp`	Thermocouple heat capacity	scalar	yes	-
`d`	Thermocouple diameter	scalar	yes	-
`epsilon`	Thermocouple emissivity	scalar	yes	-
`U`	Name of the velocity field	word	no	U
