Card 9 - COSIM_CONV_LOAD Co-simulation Convective Load Definition

This optional card specifies the parameters and options for an exchange of solid temperatures and convective load data on the interface between your 3D thermal model and the external model.

Parameters: KODE, N1, T1, T2

KODE

KODE is the code COSIM_CONV_LOAD (or 141)

N1

N1 is the COSIM_CONV_LOAD card ID. Cards with the same ID reference the same convective load co-simulation interface.

T1 = NAME

T1 = NAME (or 1) specifies the convective load co-simulation interface in T2.

T1 = EXTERNAL_SOLVER

T1 = EXTERNAL_SOLVER (or 5) specifies the external solver entity name where you defined the external solver and the path to the external solver model in T2.

T1 = LOAD_TYPE

T1 = LOAD_TYPE (or 2) Specifies the convective load type computed by the thermal solver, with conditions and heat transfer data defined by the external solver in T2.

  • T2 = THERMAL_STREAM specifies the thermal stream as a convective load type.

T1 = CONV_LOAD_ID

T1 = CONV_LOAD_ID (or 3) specifies the ID in T2 of the thermal stream for which the external solver defines the conditions and heat transfer data.

T1 = FLOW_REVERSAL_CONDITIONS

T1 = FLOW_REVERSAL_CONDITIONS (or 4) indicates if the flow reversal conditions are activated in the thermal stream definition.

  • T2 = TRUE indicates that the flow reversal conditions are activated in the thermal stream definition.
  • T2 = FALSE indicates that the flow reversal conditions are not activated in the thermal stream definition.

T1 = MASSFLOW

T1 = MASSFLOW (or 6) specifies the external solver variable that corresponds to the mass flow of the stream in T2. This variable is computed by the external solver and transferred to the defined thermal stream computed by the thermal solver.

T1 = TINLET

T1 = TINLET (or 7) specifies the external solver variable that corresponds to the inlet temperature of the stream in T2. This variable is computed by the external solver and transferred to the defined thermal stream computed by the thermal solver.

T1 = PRESSURE

T1 = PRESSURE (or 8) specifies the external solver variable that corresponds to the absolute pressure of the stream in T2. This variable is computed by the external solver and transferred to the defined thermal stream computed by the thermal solver.

T1 = HTC or or HTCB

T1 = HTC (or 9) or HTCB (or 10) specifies the external solver variable that corresponds to the stream's heat transfer coefficient in T2. In the case of two-sided streams, HTC and HTCB specify the heat transfer coefficient for the first and second side of the two-sided thermal stream, respectively. This variable is computed by the external solver and transferred to the thermal solver thermal stream definition.

T1 = HEATPICKUP or HEATPICKUPB

T1 = HEATPICKUP (or 11) or HEATPICKUPB (or 12) specifies the external solver variable that corresponds to the heat pickup of the stream. It is additional heat pickup in the fluid flowing in the stream, as a heat power per unit area of the thermal stream selection. In the case of two-sided thermal streams, HEATPICKUP, and HEATPICKUPB specify the heat pickup for the first and second side of the two-sided thermal stream, respectively. This variable is computed by the external solver and transferred to the defined thermal stream computed by the thermal solver.

T1 = SWIRL_RATIO or SWIRL_RATIOB

T1 = SWIRL_RATIO (or 15) or T1 = SWIRL_RATIOB(or 16) specifies the external solver variable that corresponds to the swirl ratio for total temperature corrections in T2. The thermal solver uses the specified value to relate total temperatures and relative temperatures In the case of two-sided thermal streams, SWIRL_RATIO, and SWIRL_RATIOB specify the swirl ratio for the first and second side of the two-sided thermal stream, respectively. This variable is computed by the external solver and transferred to the defined thermal stream computed by the thermal solver.

T1 = SWIRL_VELOCITY or SWIRL_VELOCITYB

T1 = SWIRL_VELOCITY (or 13) or T1 = SWIRL_VELOCITYB (or 14) specifies the external solver variable that corresponds to the swirl velocity for total temperature corrections in T2. The thermal solver uses the specified value to relate total temperatures and relative temperatures In the case of two-sided thermal streams, SWIRL_VELOCITY, and SWIRL_VELOCITYB specify the swirl ratio for the first and second side of the two-sided thermal stream, respectively. This variable is computed by the external solver and transferred to the defined thermal stream computed by the thermal solver.

T1 = SOLIDTEMP

T1 = SOLIDTEMP (or 17) specifies the external solver variable that corresponds to the solid temperature. The solid temperature is computed by the thermal solver and transferred to the external solver.
