.Buildings.HeatTransfer.Convection.Functions.HeatFlux.wall

Information

This function computes the buoyancy-driven convective heat flux as

q̇ = h ΔT,

where ΔT is the solid temperature minus the fluid temperature and h is the convective heat transfer coefficient for a wall, computed as

h=1.3 |ΔT|^0.3333.

Interface

function wall
  extends Buildings.HeatTransfer.Convection.Functions.HeatFlux.BaseClasses.PartialHeatFlux;
end wall;
