February 18, 2013, 12:14	Convection in a hot water tank	#1
Marie13 New Member Join Date: Feb 2013 Location: United Kingdom Posts: 3 Rep Power: 13	Hi, I am working on a simplified 2D transient model of a hot water tank. I am using a k-epsilion turbulence model. I have activated buoyancy and gravity and am using the Boussinesq model for density.For boundary conditions I have made the walls adiabatic and fixed the temperature of the heating coil. The water does heat up but it seems like it is only by pure conduction as I am not getting any velocity in the tank. Could someone please help me out? Thank you.
