Yes, I think it is possible. As q depends on the temperature gradient you can set a fixedGradient BC for the temperature T.

Hi suitup, the properties for solid regions...

Hi suitup,

the properties for solid regions are defined in the time directories. K (capital letter) is the thermal conductivity, cp the specific heat capacity and rho is the density.
With these...

Hi Ronaldo,

that's right. You can set the BCs at the region interfaces either manually or define them in the changeDictionary file.
If you have the abilities to run the case in parallel, I would...

The point in my case simply results from the geometrie. My domain is of dimension 0.01x0.1x0.1m (x y z). The plate should have the dimensions
0.01x0.1x0.02m (x y z).
So boxToCell (x0 y0 z0) (x1 y1...

Hi Ronaldo,

the mentioned problem can be solved easily. As it simply says there is a cell which is part of two zones. If a cell is part of a particular zone depends on the position of the centre...

I didn't have the time to look in your case yet, but the way you described sounds very good. It has to be this way!

Hi,

first of all I have to confess that I have never worked with fluent so far. So, I can't help at this point, sorry.

The makeCellSets file is necessary to group cells which build a region....

It looks like a heat echanger, isn't it? Is the fin supposed to optimize the heat flux from the hot pipes to the air? Furthermore, there is one thing that is not clear to me. Is the air able to flow...

So, it's done. The problem is quite easy. There's a copper plate heated at the bottom. Over the plate there is air. I decreased mesh resolution because I calculated it on a cluster with 8 CPUs.

So, just give me some minutes to prepare my case as a tutorial which is easier to understand because it is 2D and has only tow regions. ;)

Anyway, the folders in the constant folder are needed to...

Hi Ronaldo,

I think the chtMultiRegionFoam solver is adequate for your problem. It solves the energy, navier-stokes and mass conversation equations separately for solid and fluid regions. I did...
