Hello

I am an absolutely OF beginner and to learn the ropes I'm trying to create and solve a simple 2D laminar channel flow with heated walls.

-What solver fits best for my problem? I successfully calculated laminar flow in same channel geometry without heat flux with the icoFoam solver. Is there a way to modify icoFoam to use it also for my new case with heat transfer?

-I tried to solve my problem with the buoyantFoam solver. At some point the Courant-Number exploded which led to an abort of calculation. Is there a problem using buoyantFoam for a laminar case?

-Is there a case comparable to mine which I can use as assistance to get a little bit easier in the problem?

Thanks so much - svens
