Hi

In the fluent, surface integrals section, there is an option for the temperature called "wall adjacent temperature".

This temperature refers to the temperature of the fluid in the layer immediately after the wall?

What distance or fluent do you consider between the wall and this considered layer?

 

Thanks

That is te temeprerature of the fluid cell next to the wall. The distance will depend on your mesh.

What is the difference between Wall temperature adjacent and static temperature?

 

Thanks

[DrAmine]

Wall adjacent temperature is the temperature of the cell near the wall and can be plotted or displayed only at wall. The static temperature is the temperature variable accessible overall. Wall Adjacent Temperature is equal to static temperature at wall with node values switched off.

[hugo CFD]

So static temperature with node values switched on is equal to the wall temperature?

[DrAmine]

Yes but if you enable node values for Static Temperature at the Wall that would add some averaging from face centroids. This means you will have some values influenced by neighboring boundaries.

[hugo CFD]

Still relative to the wall temperature adjacent. On a surface that limits a solid of a fluid, the adjacent wall temperature is always relative to the fluid, right?

[DrAmine]

At the wall (which is solid / fluid boundary) the wall adjacent temperature is the relative to that fluid.
