Class
    Foam::fv::constantHeatTransfer
 
Group
    grpFvOptionsSources
 
Description
    Applies a constant heat transfer model for inter-region heat exchanges.
 
    Required fields:
    \verbatim
      htcConst  | Constant heat transfer coefficient        [W/m2/K]
      AoV       | Area per unit volume of heat exchanger    [1/m]
    \endverbatim
 
Usage
    Minimal example by using \c constant/fvOptions:
    \verbatim
    constantHeatTransfer1
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        type                 constantHeatTransfer;
 
        // Mandatory/Optional (inherited) entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property  | Description                     | Type  | Reqd | Dflt
      type      | Type name: constantHeatTransfer | word  | yes  | -
    \endtable
 
    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
     - \link interRegionHeatTransfer.H \endlink
