7.16.1.20.15. Foam_Expansion

Syntax

Source For Energy [{of} SpeciesName | {in} MaterialPhaseName | {ls} {a | b | c}] {on} MeshPartIdentifier = Foam_Expansion [Power_Output = power_output | Toggle = toggle | Multiplier = multiplier]

Summary

Foam expansion source for energy equation

Description

$S = -M \rho C_p T X \nabla \cdot v$

where $M$ is the “multiplier” parameter, $\rho$ the density, $c_p$ the specific heat, $T$ the temperature, $v$ the velocity, and $X$ the volume fraction of gas.

The following options are present in most boundary conditions/sources. The meaning of each option is as follows:

Power_Output: If specified, the total (integrated) power of the given BC/Src is calculated and stored into the global variable name specified as the power_output argument.
Toggle: If given, specifies which toggle block controls whether this BC is active or not.
