Detailed Description

Heat transfer coefficient calculation that employs the area-average temperature of a specified face zone as the reference temperature.

The heat transfer coefficient is calculated by:

where

	=	Heat transfer coefficient [W/m^2/K]
	=	Heat flux [W/m^2]
	=	Area average of reference face zone temperature [K]
	=	Temperature field of current patch [K]

Usage

Minimal example by using system/controlDict.functions:

heatTransferCoeffFO
{
    // Inherited entries
    ...

    // Mandatory entries
    htcModel            faceZoneReferenceTemperature;
    referenceFaceZone   <word>;

    // Optional entries
    referenceRegion     <word>;
}

where the entries mean:

Property	Description	Type	Reqd	Deflt
htcModel	Model name: faceZoneReferenceTemperature	word	yes	-
referenceFaceZone	Name of reference face zone	word	yes	-
referenceRegion	Name of region that reference face zone resides	word	no	region0
