Hello,

I am using openFoam version 6 and chtMultiRegionFoam solver. I am assigning a heat source to my solid region with fvOption file (as the source has to be homogeneously distributed in the region). How can I assign a time-dependent sinusoidal source? I can't find a proper direct solution for this...

Any help is very much appreciated!



I attach below my current code (with fixed source) with fvOption for your reference:

fixedPower
{
    type            scalarSemiImplicitSource;
    active          yes;
    selectionMode   all;

    volumeMode      absolute;

    power           5;          // Set power (W)

    injectionRateSuSp
    {
        e           ($power 0);
        h           ($power 0);
    }
}

Not sure. Does https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...ces-coded.html help?

        h           ($power 0);
    }
}

Try writing it out. For example,

{
    injectionRateSuSp
    {
        e
        {
            Su
            {
                type sine;
                ...

            }            Sp
            {
                type zero;
             }
        }    }
}

Yes, it helped indeed. Thank you!
