Bottom heat flux

#1 Unread post by logvinov »

Hi All,

I am simulating stratified flow in the channel. I want to maintain a steady linear stratification (temperature).
To do so I use ana_btflux and ana_stflux.

In flat bottom case it worked well I just set them to some appropriate (the same for both) value, depending on the desirable intensity of stretification.

Now I am working with sloping bottom case and it gets trickier.
Could somebody explain me how the bt_flux is determined? Is it normal to the bottom? And just to make sure is it determined as heat_flux per sq. meter?

Thanks a lot,
Evgeny
