Dear all,

I'm solving, in my customized solver based on CHTMutliregionFoam, the following equation:
Code:
d/dt = alphaEff * laplacian (T)
which is a classic heat transfer equation, where alphaEff (Effective thermal diffusivity) is a scalar field. I'm solving it in the following way:
Code:
    fvScalarMatrix EEqn
    (
   fvm::ddt (T)
-  fvm::laplacian(alphaEff, T)
    );
Now I would like to solve
Code:
rho*Cp*d/dt = divergence (Keff * gradient(T))
where rho is the density, Cp is the specific heat and Keff is the effective thermal conductivity, i.e they are all scalar fields.

How can I write it in OpenFOAM?

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

Gennaro
