TransAT Tutorial Manual 3.3. Turbulent Heat Flux Modelling
3.3 Turbulent Heat Flux Modelling
3.3.1 Prerequisites
• TransAT
• TransATUI
• Paraview (or Tecplot)
3.3.2 Introduction
In this TransAT tutorial the turbulent heat flux (THF) model is employed to model the heat
transfer in a heated pipe by explicitely solving for the turbulent heat fluxes. The setup for this
test case is related to the experimental data of Steiner (1971) for Re = 5000.
3.3.3 Launch TransATUI
• Double-click the TransAT icon on the Desktop.
3.3.4 Opening TransAT window
The first step in creating a new TransAT project is naming said project and giving it a location.
• Click to create a new project
• In the next window, navigate to the folder where the project will be saved
• To create a new project folder, click in the top right corner of the window
• Enter a project folder name, say turbulent heat flux, then click to create the folder
• Click to select the folder and close the browser
• Set Project Name to a more explicit name such as turbulent heat flux then click
After clicking , the Mesh & BCs tab will be opened.
The Geo, Mesh & BCs, Input and Execute tabs at the top of the TransATUI window can
now be selected to open the modules to set up a simulation with TransAT.
