Dear foamers,
using buoyantPimpleFoam I'd like to simulate a free-surface. Is this possibile? Which are the right conditions to be imposed in the 0 folder for p, p_rgh, T and u? Thanks a lot for help, Samuele |

Hi Samuele
Have you considered looking at the solver interFoam, which is designed for free surface flows? Kind regards, Niels |

I had a look, but it seems that it allows me to solve isothermal flows, only.
What I wanna do is to take into account temperature, also. Any idea? |

Hi Samuele,
I have not been working with temperature fields in interFoam, but I have over the years seen several threads on the topic, so searching the Forum could be a good place to start. I you what a sharp interface, I believe that interFoam is the best place to start. Kind regards, Niels |

Hi Samuele,
you can add the temperature equation to interFoam by yourself. Take a look to these threads: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...interfoam.html http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...interfoam.html Good luck, Andrea |
