Hi all,
I'm relatively new to CFD, and have been using Fluent for the past few months. I'd like to consult you guys whether switching to OpenFoam as the general purpose solver is a good idea. The geometries I will be using may be relatively complicated, with a large number of cells. In general, I'll be dealing with incompressible flows in the following applications: - two phase flows/condensing flows - flows in and around heat exchangers - heat transfer - porous media - flows through fans - pipe flows Please, write down any ideas that might be relevant, and that will help me decide whether it is a good idea (cons and pros, what questions should I ask myself before the change, what steps should I take, etc.) Thank you very much! |
