Hello foamers,

I'm working on a case with chtMultiRegionFoam solver where I have some solid regions that are covered with a vertical air chamber in order to keep the solid regions warm and protected from the solar radiation. The air chamber keeps the surface of the solid that it is in contact with warm by natural convection (no air is pumped inside the chamber).

My main doubt is what sould be the proper BC's for velocity, pressure and temperature in the inlet and outlet patches? I haven't still worked with opened domains with OF until now...

Many thanks in advance. Any tip or hint will be much appreciated.

Regards,

Alex

The case I talk about in this site was solved with chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam solver and involves radiation. Some basic tutorials are also resolved step by step in the web. If you are interested in these matters, you are invited to come in!
