add an array of new variable to OpenFOAM

hsingtzu · June 29, 2016, 05:56

Hello

I would like to add heat sources to a model. The values of the heat sources are different in different cells. I would like to find a way that the solver looks for an array in a certain file for the heat sources in the internal field, and the heat sources in all boundaries are set to be zero.

Does anyone know how to make it, or has anyone done similar work?

Thanks

I propose a way that probably works.
Define a new variable "Q" for heat source, and then change the values in the internal field from Q[0] to Q[Q.size()].
