Change of behaviour of chtMultiRegionFoam with OF231
 
Hi foamers,
i am trying to upgrade my version of OF from 2.1.0 to 2.3.1.
The case i want to simulate use the chtMultiRegionFoam solver.
On OF231, for the solid parts, OF is solving the calculation of h, instead of T for the previous version.
The results of temperature on these solid parts are diverging and to finish, the job crashes for a maximum of iteration reached.
Does anybody has already heard something about the new way of using the chtMultiRegionFoam solver ?
Thanks a lot,
have a good day
Laurent

Meaning of kappa
 
Hi,
i have verified a lot of the parameters and one question is still present in my mind ?
What is the meaning of the kappa, written in thermophysicalProperties ?
With OF210, i used to write the value of K, but oF231 ask the value of kappa.
Best regards,
Laurent

Hi;
It is probably same k (thermal conductivity).
Since I know kappa is Greek letter of thermal conductivity (κ).
As a question , also I want to add a source term in solid region.
How can I do this?
Can u help me?:)
