Hello everybody,
I have to model a fire as a volumetric heat source that is releasing 62.9kw. I have tried before but my "fire" was behaving like a solid. Can you give me some advices? Have a nice day, Ioana |

Hi Ioana,
What do you mean by "behaving like a solid"? Glenn |

Hi Glenn,
I mean I had just conduction. I think that I used a subdomain where I set a source that was releasing a certain heat flux. How can I define it to have convection as well? I am trying to make a comparison between this model and the combustion models that's way I need it. Regards, Ioana |

Hi Ioana,
I bet you have a problem with the buoyancy. Have you specified the gravity vector correctly? Have you specified the bouyancy model correctly? Glenn |
