Hi

I would like to model a natual convection problem with water. If I am not mistaken, I should be able to do this using the buoyantFoam solver and the Janaf & sutherland models, with the following thermoType definition in the thermophysicalProperties dictionary:
hThermo<puremixture<sutherlandtransport<speciether mo<janafthermo<perfectgas>>>>>

I don't have access to the Janaf tables, so was hoping to get the following coefs from the forum.

JanafThermo:
Tlow
Thigh
Tcommon
highCpCoeffs (seven coeffs)
lowCpCoeffs (seven coeffs)

sutherlandTransport:
sutherland coefficient As
sutherland Temperature Ts

Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards
Yann

Hello

I'm also interested in natural convection in water. Did you solve the problem?

Best regards.
