TEMP0

----- PIL real; default=0.0; group 9, ----

TEMP0....the negative of the absolute zero of temperature on the currently used temperature scale, i.e. the number which must be added to the current temperature to yield the absolute temperature.

It should be set to 273.15 when the Celsius scale is in use, and to 492 when the Fahrenheit scale is in use.

It is used for the calculation of enthalpy and specific heat when TEM1 and/or TEM2 is solved for, and also for radiative heat- transfer calculations.

TEMP1

TEMP1.... is a name which may be used in GROUND coding to access the temperature of the first phase, when this is deduced from the enthalpy. It is not a PIL variable.

TEMPerature

--------------------------------

Temperature can be treated in PHOENICS as either a derived property, or a solved-for variable.

In the former case, the enthalpy of the phase in question must be a solved-for variable; then the temperature is derived from it by some such relation as:

temperature = const1 * enthalpy + const2.

In the latter, temperature is the represented by the solved-for variables:
TEM1, for phase 1; and
TEM2, for phase 2.

TERMS

----- Command; in group 8 ------------

The command to determine which terms are active in the balance equation for variables solved is:

TERMS(variable index,Y or N,Y or N,.. six times) (if no change desired, enter P for pass)
The six questions answered by the Y's and N's are:

  1. Built-in sources active?
  2. Convection active?
  3. Diffusion active?
  4. Transient term active?
  5. Variable belongs to first phase?
  6. Interphase transport active?

TFRAC

TFRAC is a PIL-language array for setting the time-step intervals. There are three ways of using TFRAC to set the time intervals namely:

  1. the direct method
  2. the method of pairs
  3. the use of GRDPWR (qv)

These methods are detailed below.

(a) The direct method.

When successive values of the TFRAC array are set to a series of monotonically increasing values, the time at the end of each time step will be equal to TLAST times the value in the array, minus TFIRST. Thus, if TLAST=10.0 (seconds), TFIRST=0 and LSTEP=4 (implying that four time intervals will be calculated), the following settings of TFRAC have the implications shown:-
TFRAC(1)= 0.1 implies that the first calculation is from 0.0 to 1.0 sec;
TFRAC(2)= 0.25 implies that the second calculation is from 1.0 to 2.5 sec;
TFRAC(3)= 0.75 implies that the third calculation is from 2.5 to 7.5 sec;
TFRAC(4)= 1.42 implies that the fourth calculation is from 7.5 to 14.2 sec.

Although TFRAC is properly interpreted as being a fraction, in that it multiplies TLAST, there is no objection to its taking values in excess of 1.0. provided each successive member of the array exceeds the one before it. If the last value of TFRAC is 1.0 then TLAST is the duration of the run and the initial time TFIRST is added to the time printed in the output.

(b) The method of pairs.

When TFRAC(1) is set to a negative number, PHOENICS-EARTH is informed that the method of pairs is in use. Thereafter, the minus sign is ignored.

In this method, the odd-numbered TFRAC's must be given whole- number values; but the even-numbered TFRAC's can take any positive values. The interpretation by EARTH of the following settings:


TFRAC(1)=-4.0 , TFRAC(2)=0.25 ,
TFRAC(3)= 1.0 , TFRAC(4)=0.137 ,
TFRAC(5)=42.0 , TFRAC(6)=1.2E-4 ,

will be that time will be divided into:- 4 intervals each equal to 0.25 times TLAST, followed by 1 interval equal to 0.137 times TLAST, followed by 42 intervals each equal to 0.00012 times TLAST.

(c) The command GRDPWR

GRDPWR(T,number of intervals, total time, exponent)

automatically sets TLAST, LSTEP and TFRAC. See GRDPWR for information.

THINPLT, a PHOENICS-VR object type

Contents

  1. Description
  2. Energy-equation source terms
  3. Radiation-equation source terms
  4. Determination of the plate surface temperatures
  5. Concluding remarks

1. Description

The THINPLT object represents a grid-aligned zero-thickness obstacle to flow, which may be porous, and has a nominal thickness and material for heat transfer through the plate by conduction. The object accounts for radiative and convective heat transfer from either side of the plate, and in transient cases without radiation, the thermal capacitance of the plate is taken into account. The advantage of a THINPLT object over a participating BLOCKAGE object is that it accounts for heat conduction through the plate without the need to mesh the thickness of the plate itself, which would be the case for a BLOCKAGE object.

The THINPLT object differs from a PLATE object only in that it allows for heat transfer through the plate. The object can be used with the energy equation solved in terms of either temperature (TEM1) or specific enthalpy (H1), and radiative heat transfer can be taken into account by means of the IMMERSOL variable T3. The user can specify a different surface emissivity for each side of the THINPLT.

The THINPLT object is implemented in PHOENICS by:

  1. breaking the default diffusive links in the energy and radiation equations between the mesh nodes on either side of the cell face coincident with the THINPLT; and
  2. then introducing the appropriate energy and radiation sources and sinks on either side of the plate.

For the latter a thermal balance is applied at the surfaces on either side of the object so as to determine the surface temperatures on the two sides. These surface temperatures are used to apply diffusive and radiative source terms on either side of the THINPLT.

The creation of a THINPLT object generates two PATCH's, one on the low-coordinate side of the thin plate named PLT*1, and the other on the high coordinate side named PLT_1. PHOENICS will print to the RESULT every NPRINT sweeps, the convective and radiative heat transfer rates (in W) entering and leaving the thin plate. For example:

Nett source of TEM1 at patch named: PLT*1 (THINP ) = 1.883105E+02

Nett source of TEM1 at patch named: PLT_1 (THINP ) =-4.884870E+02

Nett source of T3 at patch named: PLT*1 (THINP ) = 5.539259E+02

Nett source of T3 at patch named: PLT_1 (THINP ) =-2.543786E+02

The whole-field variable TWAL may be used to store the surface temperature on each side of the plate for output purposes.

2. Energy-equation source terms

The THINPLT object adds the following source terms to the energy (TEM1) equation:

	
ST1,m = HmA(Twm-T1m)        (1)

ST1,p = HpA(Twp-T1p) (2)

where the subscripts m and p denote the low and high fluid sides of the plate surface, respectively; A is the cell surface area of the plate, and the H's are the fluid-side heat transfer coefficients, which are defined by:

	
Hj = StjRejσl,jkjj       (3)

where the subscript j denotes m or p; σl is the laminar Prandtl number; k is the fluid thermal conductivity; Re is the local Reynolds number parallel to the plate; δj is the node-to-wall normal distance; and St is the Stanton number, which is defined by:

	
St ≡ H/(ρCpUr)            (4)

where ρ is the fluid density; Cp is the fluid specific heat; and Ur is the resultant velocity parallel to the wall. For laminar flow next to the plate, the Stanton number is calculated from St=1/(σlRe), whereas for turbulent flow it is calculated from the wall functions.

3. Radiation-equation source terms

For IMMERSOL, the following source terms are added to the radiation (T3) equation:

	
ST3,m = Hr,mA(Twm-T3m)         (5)

ST3,p = Hr,pA(Twp-T3p) (6)

where Hr,m and Hr,p are the radiative heat transfer coefficients defined by:

	
Hr,j = 4σβjT3j,m3    (7) 

Here, the subscript j denotes the fluid-side of the plate m or p; σ is Stefan Boltzmann's constant = 5.6704.10-8 W m-2K-4; βj is a radiative resistance term for the surface j, defined by

	
βj=[δj{0.75(εj+sj)+1/Gj}+(1.-εw,j)/εw,j]-1 (8)

and T3j,m is the mean temperature between w and j, which is evaluated from:


T3j,m3=(Twj2+T3j2)(Twj+T3j)/4         (9)

In equation (8), εw,j is the wall emissivity for the surface j; εj is the fluid emissivity (in m-1); sj is the fluid scattering coefficient (in m-1;) and Gj is the fluid-side gap distance.

Equation (9) follows from linearising the wall heat flux qwj=σβj(Twj4-T3j4) in terms of (Twj-T3j), so that qwj=4σβT3j,m3(Twj-T3j).

4. Determination of the plate surface temperatures

4.1 Radiation Cases

For cases with radiation, the two surface temperatures are determined from the two simultaneous equations which arise from considering the total heat transfer through the plate from one side to the other. For transient cases, the thermal capacitance of the plate is ignored. Thus,

	
Γm(T3m4-Twm4)+Hm(T1m-Twm)=Ctp(Twm-Twp)     (10)

Γp(Twp4-T3p4)+Hp(Twp-T1p)=Ctp(Twm-Twp) (11)

where the subscripts m and p denote the low and high fluid sides of the plate surface, respectively; and Ctp=kp/tp is the plate thermal-conductance coefficient with kp the plate conductivity and tp the plate thickness. The H's in equations (10) and (11) are the fluid-side heat-transfer coefficients; and the Γ's are the radiative heat-exchange coefficients, defined by:

	
Γj = σβj = σ/([δ{0.75(εj+sj)+Gj-1}]+(1.-εw,j)/εw,j)    (12)

Equations (10) and (11) above can be manipulated to produce the following two simultaneous equations for solution of the two surface temperatures Twm and Twp:

	
f1 = Hm(Twm-T1m)+Γm(Twm4-T3m4)

+ Γp(Twp4-T3p4)+Hp(Twp-T1p) = 0 (13)
f2 = Hm(Twm-Twp)+Γm(Twm4-T3m4)
+ Ctp(Twm-Twp) = 0 (14)

Equations (13) and (14) are solved for Twm and Twp by using Newton's method in two dimensions, i.e:


f1[x,y] = 0       f2[x,y] = 0              (15)

xk+1 = xk+∆xk yk+1 = yk+∆yk (16)
∆xk = -f1/J ∆yk = -f2/J (17)
J[x,y] =| ∂f1/∂x ∂f1/∂y | | ∂f2/∂x ∂f2/∂y | (18)

where x ≡ Twm, y ≡ Twp and the subscript k denotes the kth Newton iteration, and J is the Jacobian matrix.

4.2 No-radiation cases

For cases without radiation, the thermal capacitance of the thin plate is included in the local heat balance for the plate, as follows:

	
(Tm-TW)/Rm=(TW-Tp)/Rp+(TW-TWo)/Rt      (19)

where TW and TWo are the effective plate temperatures at the current and previous time steps, respectively. The thermal resistances in the foregoing equation are defined by:

	
Rp=rp+rw               (20)

Rm=rm+rw               (21)

Rt=dt/(ρtpCp,tptp)     (22)  

rm=1/Hm               (23)

rp=1/Hp               (24)

rw=tp/(2kp)=1/(2Ctp)  (25)

where dt is the local time step, tp is the plate thickness, and ρtp and Cp,tp are the density and specific heat of the thin plate, respectively.

For transient cases, the effective plate temperature TW is determined by re-arrangment of equation (19), as follows:

	
TW=(RpRtTm+RtRmTp+RpRmTWo)/(RpRm+RpRt+RtRm)    (26)

whereas for steady cases, equation (19) can be simplified to compute the effective plate temperature from:

	
TW=(RpTm+RmTp)/(Rp+Rm)    (27)

Finally, the surface temperatures of the thin plate are recovered from the following local heat-balance equations:

	
Twm=(rwTm+rmTW)/(rm+rw)    (28)

Twp=(rwTp+rpTW)/(rp+rw) (29)

5. Concluding remarks

In future work the thin-plate object will be extended to allow for the thermal capacity of the plate in transient cases with radiation.

Time-Out feature

PHOENICS permits users to set the maximum clock time of a simulation calculation, by setting the PIL variable MAXSEC to the maximum allowable number of seconds.

It was introduced for the convenience of users of CHAM's pay-by-use Remote Computing Service. However, it may of course be used in stand-alone installations also.

The coding which effects this is in the open-source file:
grex3.for.

This employs the following call to an in-EARTH sub-routine:

CALL SECONDS(NUMSEC)

which returns the number of seconds of time which have elapsed since the EARTH run started to execute.

In the GREX3 sequence provided by CHAM, NUMSEC is simply compared with ISG20, in order to determine whether execution is to cease. Users who incorporate it in their own coding may well find other uses for it.

Time as a plotting direction in PHOTON

If NZ=1, and STEADY=F, it is possible to dump field values which can be plotted by PHOTON, with the time dimension replacing Z. In order to activate this feature, it is necessary only to set IDISPA > 0 in the Q1 file; then, because of the statement:

IF(.NOT.STEADY.AND.IDISPA.GT.0.AND.PNAM.EQ.' ') CALL GXPARA

in Group 19 Section 8 of GREX3.F, a call is made to subroutine GXPARA. IDISPA dictates the frequency (in terms of time steps) of dumping.

The file containing the dumped information is called PARPHI, if PHIDA=F in PREFIX, and otherwise PARADA.

The first time step at which dumping occurs is IDISPB and the last is IDISPC. However, if these are left as zero, dumping occurs for the whole time range.

TINY....a small real number, defaulted to 1.E-20 which is used in EARTH to guard against division by zero. This value may be too small for machines with short word length, and would normally be set to an appropriate value at the time of installation.

When TINY.LE.1.E-20, underflow trapping occurs at various locations in the calculation. Setting TINY to a higher value therefore saves some time, and is acceptable for most problems on most machines.

TOLERANCE

'Tolerance' is a variable, having the dimensions of distance, which the VR Editor uses when creating a grid containing VR-objects which are specified as 'affecting the grid'.

All such objects do so by default.

Three 'tolerance' values can be set, one for each of the Cartesian-coordinate directions. By default, all three are set to 0.001 (m).

'Affecting the grid' means requiring the Satellite to create 'region' boundaries co-incident with the edges of the object's bounding box. The grid can then be specified within each region, either automatically or manually.

If the distance between two region boundaries, or a region boundary and the domain edge, is less than the tolerance in that direction, the second region boundary will not be created.

If it is desired that an object should not create region boundaries, the part of the Q1 file which pertains to it should contain:
> OBJ, GRID, NO
if the object is not to affect the grid in any direction, or
> OBJ, GRID, p,p,p
where 'p' is Y (for Yes) or N (for No) for the X, Y and Z co-ordinate directions respectively.

Tolerance values can be specified by the user either interactively or by editing the RSET(M,......) line in the Q1 file.

Judicious settings for the tolerance can help eliminate very thin 'spaghetti' cells formed when objects almost - but not quite - line up.

Total Pressure

If the Mach Number is stored, the Total or Stagnation Pressure (PTOT) is calculated from:

Ptot = (P1+PRESS0)*(1+((γ-1)/2)*M)γ/(γ-1)

If the Reference Pressure PRESS0 (Main Menu - Properties) is set to zero, the total pressure may go below zero, leading to an error-stop.

If the Mach Number is not stored, the total pressure is calculated from:

Ptot = (P1+PRESS0) + 0.5*ρ*Vabs2

Storage of PTOT can be activated from the Main Menu's Output tab under Derived Variables.

Total Pressure boundary conditions can be set using the 'quadratic' coefficient option for outlet objects.

TRACE

----------- PIL logical, default F -------

When set equal to T, TRACE switches on a primitive tracing facility in the Q1 file which functions as an aid to debugging complicated Q1 files.

After the command TRACE=T has been read, each line of PIL is written either to the VDU or to the file lupvr (depending on the PHOENICS version) with the message ... 123.45 TRACING ... prefixed to it, before it is interpreted by the Satellite.

The numerical value prefixing the line shows the current machine clock time in seconds. The line-printing procedure is switched off when the command TRACE=F is encountered.

A computer works to only a limited number of significant figures. It is therefore advisable to avoid producing calculated results of the following kinds:

These can be avoided by use of suitable datum levels for the enthalpy or pressure (see PRESS0) respectively, or by non- dimensionalisation.

TSTSWP

---- PIL integer; default=1; group 22 --- -

TSTSWP....dictates frequency (in terms of sweeps, or of hydrodynamic iterations for PARAB) with which sums of the residuals of the equations solved are written to the VDU, for the purpose of on-line monitoring of the convergence path of the solution. Note that the printed quantities are divided by the RESREFs.

If TSTSWP is set to a negative number and USEGRX=T, then EARTH will activate GXMONI. This will open a graphics window and display spot values and residuals both graphically and numerically.

TSTSWP=-1 dictates that changes are displayed every sweep or iteration,
TSTSWP=-2,-3,... means that changes are displayed every 2,3... sweeps or iterations.

An example of what appears on the screen can be seen by clicking here.

TURBULENCE

Flowing fluids are classified as 'turbulent' or 'laminar' according to whether they do or do not exhibit, superimposed upon an evident slowly or scarcely varying pattern of flow, seemingly-random transient deviations in lateral directions.

Present-day computers lack the power which they would need were they required to compute the small-scale details of turbulence; therefore 'models' of turbulence have been provided which permit then to compute some aspects of turbulence, sometimes to be approximately computed.

Effective-viscosity models

An essential supposition of many such models is that the time-averaged behaviour of a turbulent flow can be simulated by acting as though it were laminar, but with an increased 'effective' viscosity.

The problem then becomes one of calculating the increase ratio.

The widely-used so-called 'k-epsilon' model does this by supposing that the 'effective viscosity' depends on the 'turbulence energy', k, and its rate of dissipation, epsilon, for each of which soluble transport equations have been devised.

Population models

Other models seek to compute more than the time-average properties of the turbulence. They recognise that a sampling probe held at a fixed position in the smoke plume, for example, would at different times find pure air, dense smoke, and samples of varying degrees of smokiness; and they attempt to express this fact as a 'population distribution'.

The 'two-fluid' model and 'multi-fluid model', with which PHOENICS is supplied, are of this kind.

Which model should be used? And when?"

These are important questions for CFD users; yet there is no agreement among specialists as to the answers.

A broad-brush answer to which some would subscribe is:

TWO-EQUATION turbulence models are those which solve two differential equations for the prediction of statistical properties of a turbulent flows, typically the "effective viscosity" and the "dissipation rate".
