code_saturne User's Forum

Dear all,

Does anyone has the manual on using the radiative heat transfer and conjugate heat transfer command in code saturne? CurrentlyI am doing the ventilation within shipping container house and would like to add the heat transfer through radiation in the calculation for better accuracy. One more thing is how to plot the convergence plot (temperature vs time step) by using RESULT.case file? Need your help. Thanks

Hello,

Though it may not be completely up to date, there is a section on the radiative module in the user guide (pdf), and most options are available in the GUI.

To plot the convergence of a variable, you cannot use the 3D output from the RESULT.case, but the residuals.csv file which is automatically generated, or plot probe values at selected probe points if you have defined those.

Regards,

Yvan
