Hi everyone,
I am looking for a solver able to handle a tube heat ex-changer involving two fluids separated by thermal baffles (there's no free surface). The schematic is shown in the attached figure. Can anyone please give me some hints on this. Thanks a lot! tube flow.png |

The appropriate solver is chtMultiRegion(Simple)Foam. Simple for steady state calculations.
Regards, Alex

thanks a lot. Just wonder if the thermalBaffle BC works well as the region interface. Any experience?

You have to use compressible::turbulentTemperatureCoupledBaffleMix ed as a BC in order to couple T in both sides. You can also define your baffle's properties (thermal conductivity and thickness) within the BC specification in the 0 folder.

Is there an incompressible counterpart BC available? I am dealing with water. Thanks.
