Dear foamers,
I really need your help to solve my problems in running openFoam 2.2.1. I am trying to solve a convection and radiation case, so far with little success. The case is a 2D room (4m*8m) with 2 inlet and 2 outlet for air flow. There are 2 heaters at uniform temperature (850 K) on the ceiling ,the geometry is attached (geometry.png)
For this, I use the bouyantBoussinesqPimpleFoam solver, fvDOM radiation model and RNGkEpsilon for turbulence model. This case is steady state. I am running unsteady solver for a longer physical time until it reaches steady state.
Some boundary conditions are defined as follows ...
T:

Code:
      internalField   uniform 263;
boundaryField
{
     heater
    {
        type            fixedValue;
        value           uniform 850;
    }
    inletL
    {
        type            fixedValue;
        value           uniform 263;
    }
   inletR
    {
        type            fixedValue;
        value           uniform 263;
    }
    outletL
    {
        type            inletOutlet;
        value           uniform 263;
        inletValue      uniform 263;
    }
outletR
    {
        type            inletOutlet;
        value           uniform 263;
        inletValue      uniform 263;
    }
    sidewalls
    {
     type            fixedValue;
     value           uniform 263;
    }
   
   ".*"
       {
        type            groovyBC;
        variables       "gradT=Qr/0.02334;";// air conductivity= 0.02334
        fractionExpression "0";
        gradientExpression "gradT";
        value           uniform 263;
    }
}
    }

    }
    inletR
    {
        type            fixedValue;
        value           uniform (-0.213 0 0);
    }
    outletL
    {
        type            pressureInletOutletVelocity;
        value           uniform (0 0 0);
        inletValue      uniform (0 0 0);
    }
outletR
    {
        type            pressureInletOutletVelocity;
        value           uniform (0 0 0);
        inletValue      uniform (0 0 0);
    }

    ".*"
    {
        type            fixedValue;

    maxIter 2;         // maximum number of iterations
    cacheDiv    true;   // cache the div of the RTE equation.
// NOTE: Caching div is "only" accurate if the upwind scheme is used in
// div(Ji,Ii_h)
}

// Number of flow iterations per radiation iteration
solverFreq 20;//5

absorptionEmissionModel constantAbsorptionEmission;

constantAbsorptionEmissionCoeffs
{
   absorptivity    absorptivity    [ 0 -1 0 0 0 0 0 ] 0;
   emissivity      emissivity      [ 0 -1 0 0 0 0 0 ] 0;
   E               E   [ 1 -1 -3 0 0 0 0 ] 0;
}

scatterModel    none;
The correct solution isn't available but temperature contour and speed contour obviously shows that solution is incorrect (both images are attached). It would be nice if anyone can help me
1) I want the floor and cieling of the room define as adiabatic boundary so i use groovy bc as you see above in T code. Is it correct?
2) if i choose maxcorunt number > 0.1 in controlDict the solver crash after some timesteps. what is the problem?
3) Maybe i choose an improper scheme or other parameters in controldict , fvSolution or ..., please check them and tell me What might be the mistake? If it is required more information in details feel free to ask.
thanks in advance
Best regards
