RealConProfile

This code calculates the conductive heat transport between two plates within a fluid of varying heat conductivity (non-Oberbeck-Boussinesq as descriped in O. Shishkina, S. Weiss, and E. Bodenschatz, , Phys. Rev. Fluids, 1(6), 062301(R)

Installation

1. Make sure libFluidPropC is installed (which itself depends on CoolProp)

2. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/steview2000/RealConProfile.git

3. Enter directory and compile:

cd RealConProfile 
make

4. Install in ${HOME}/bin

make install

Dependencies:

* libFluidPropC (https://github.com/steview2000/libFluidProp.git)

Usage:

./RealConProfile \[option\] \[value\] 

Calculates the conductive heat flux through a fluid of varying heat conductivity Options are optional and don't have to be provided.

Commandline options

        -h       prints this help message

        -b <value> bottom plate temperature in degree Celsius
        -t <value> top plate temperature in degree Celsius
        -P <value> pressure in bar 
        -H <value> height of the cell in meter 
        -f       <fluids>        defines the fluid

Possible fluids: Everything that is available in CoolProp. In particular: Air, Hydrogen, Helium, Nitrogen, CO2, Xenon, SF6, Ethane, Water, Acetone, Methanol, Ethanol

Example

The following code calculates the heat flux for SF6 at P=10bar with bottom plate temperate 15 C and top plate temperature 35 C in a 2m tall cell:

./RealConProfile -f SF6 -b 15 -t 35 -P 10 -H 2
