Temperature Loss in Smoker

shaw600 · January 8, 2016, 09:13

Hi,

I have relatively little CFD experience but I am trying to simulate the temperature distribution and smoke flow throughout the cooking chamber in a smoker.

The contour colours show a variation however, the scale does not:

I believe something in my set-up is wrong.

I have a velocity inlet (0.1 m/s, T=425 k) and pressure outlet:

The energy equation is turned on and the flow is k-epsilon.

Please help.

Check your wall boundary conditions. It looks like they are all adiabatic.
