Hello,

I'm trying to simulate a case of natural convection on a cylinder in open atmosphere.
I'm trying to replicate the procedure and results described in this paper:

http://www.spf.ch/fileadmin/daten/pu...e_SWC_2011.pdf

However, what I'm struggling with are the boundary conditions for the atmospheric openings, since in the paper they aren't described in detail.

Which pressure and velocity conditions would you suggest for these outer boundaries?

Thank you.

Hello Nicholas,

Were you able to solve your problem? I am struggling with the same problems.
