Problem Formulation
I am about to model a complex problem of conjugate heat transfer in a set of fluids/solids coupled to each other through shared boundaries (interfaces). Thermal conduction defines heat transfer in solid regions. Thermal conduction, thermal radiation and convection govern heat transfer in fluid regions. chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam solver seems to be an adequate choice to solve such a problem. Before I go into the world of real engineering problems I consider a rather simple test case. A sketch of my geometry is here. Yes, the mesh is quite coarse and not optimal (an external mesher was utilized to construct polyhedral cells). Anyway, I guess I can live with it. We have 3 concentric spherical layers: inner (cellZone_1), central (cellZone_2) and outer (cellZone_3) regions. The inner surface of cellZone_1 is at constant temperature 300°K; the outer surface of cellZone_3 is at constant temperature 2000°K; cellZone_2 is thermally coupled with cellZone_1 and cellZone_3 at its surfaces. А sample line to plot some results along is shown below. Part 1 To start off I narrowed a complex general case to a simple problem avoiding all the heat transfer options except thermal conduction in solid regions (with thermal conductivity “kappa” = 10 W/(m K)). OpenFOAM handled its job quite well! A graph in which the values of temperature are plotted along the sample line is shown here. OpenFOAM solution is compared with proprietary software solution. Perfect coincidence! Part 2 Then I added some complexity to the simulation problem – now the central region is considered to be transparent for gray thermal radiation to transfer between region boundaries (surface-to-surface radiation with non-participating medium). Here comes the problem. All 3 regions remain solid as in the simplest case mentioned before: Code:
//“constant/regionProperties” regions ( fluid () solid (cellZone_1 cellZone_2 cellZone_3) Code:
//“constant/cellZone_2/radiationProperties” radiation on; radiationModel viewFactor; viewFactorCoeffs { smoothing true; constantEmissivity true; } solverFreq 3; absorptionEmissionModel none; scatterModel none; sootModel none; For inner and outer regions I have "constant/cellZone_1/radiationProperties" and "constant/cellZone_3/radiationProperties": Code:
//“constant/cellZone_1/radiationProperties”, “constant/cellZone_3/radiationProperties” radiation on; radiationModel opaqueSolid; absorptionEmissionModel none; scatterModel none; sootModel none; Initial and boundary conditions are defined in a strange way. First of all why should we ever need pressure “p” file for our solid regions? Doesn’t we solve only for energy? When I remove this pressure file the solver starts to complain about it. Code:
[2] --> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: [2] cannot find file [2] [2] file: /home/geeko/OpenFOAM/geeko-2.4.0/run/my_cases/radiation_sphere/processor2/0/cellZone_1/p at line 0.

//"0/cellZone_2/T" ".*_to_.*" { type compressible::turbulentTemperatureRadCoupledMixed; value uniform 300; Tnbr T; kappa solidThermo; kappaName none; QrNbr none; Qr Qr; } The way we specify radiation heat flux “Qr” on boundaries leaves no alternative. Note radiation "emissivity uniform 1". Code:
// "0/cellZone_2/Qr" ".*_to_.*" { type greyDiffusiveRadiationViewFactor; value uniform 0; emissivityMode solidRadiation; Qro uniform 0; emissivity uniform 1; } With all this set-up I can say it didn't do me any good. I didn’t manage to obtain correct solution in OpenFOAM. It turned out that thermal radiation cannot be solved in solid regions. The temperature profile along my sample line is the same as in the no-radiation case. Correct solution obtained with proprietary software is shown in the picture above (it is marked as “proprietary, radOn”) as a reference. OpenFoam “Qr” field is zero everywhere at the end of simulation. No radiation transfer is observed: Part 3 Well, what if I made my central region (cellZone_2) fluid, not solid? Let’s see if we could benefit from it. Code:
//“constant/regionProperties” regions ( fluid (cellZone_2) solid (cellZone_1 cellZone_3) ); Code:
//“system/cellZone_2/fvSolution” SIMPLE { … frozenFlow on; } Code:
// “constant/cellZone_2/thermophysicalProperties” thermoType { type heRhoThermo; mixture pureMixture; transport const; thermo hConst; equationOfState rhoConst; specie specie; energy sensibleEnthalpy; } pRef 100000; mixture { specie { nMoles 1; molWeight 28.9; } thermodynamics { Cp 1000; Hf 0; } transport { mu 1.8e-05; Pr 0.0018; //Pr=mu*Cp/kappa } equationOfState { rho 1e-2; } } Can anyone comment on this? What is the relation between “kappa” and “rho”? Then I switched radiation on (“viewFactorsModel”). “radiationProperties” file for fluid region remained the same as it was in the all-solids case. “radiationProperties” files for inner and outer solid regions had to be altered. Specifically “absorptionEmissionModel” cannot be “none” anymore. I had to set “absorptionEmissionModel constantAbsorptionEmission” otherwise the solver blows up and shows this message: Code:

All I want is surface-to-surface radiation in central region. Moreover, no matter what emissivity defined on the boundaries (in “0/Qr” file) is, it seems to have no effect on the solution. This is totally opposed to my goal. Conclusion To sum everything up I can say that I failed to get chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam working the way I need. Should anyone have positive experience working with the solver please share your thoughts on the subject.

Hi Zeppo!
Interesting post yours! As I developed my Final Thesis using this solver and working with radiation I think I can help you with most of your doubts in this post. Geometry is quite simple, wich is good when you first try to model a system with the intention to understand how physical phenomena is modelled with OF. Now I will try to respond to your main hesitations with the most accurate information I can give you. Take into account that I developed my Final Thesis with OF 2.3.x, so my explanations are referred to this version's code, some aspects may have changed from this version on (the newst verision launched is 3.0.x). Simple case. No comment about it. Quote:
Besides that, I think that view factors method can't handle participating media, just surface to surface radiation... Quote:

I have to ask my question from the post #1 again. Can you (or anyone else) tell me why thermal conductivity (kappa) depends on density (rho) in the case of a fluid region? Shouldn’t the relation “Pr=mu*Cp/kappa” always hold? Code:
//“constant/cellZone_2/thermophysicalProperties” thermoType { type heRhoThermo; mixture pureMixture; transport const; thermo hConst; equationOfState rhoConst; //<perfectGas>; specie specie; energy sensibleEnthalpy; } pRef 100000; mixture { specie { nMoles 1; molWeight 28.9; } thermodynamics { Cp 1000; Hf 0; } transport { mu 1.8e-05; Pr 0.0018; // "Pr=mu*Cp/kappa" } equationOfState { rho 1e-02; } } It is easy to see that as density increases the temperature distribution in the central region gets more and more level, uniform as if thermal conductivity increased too. Obviously, there are 2 limit boundaries the plot line can stick to: 1) density is 0 (then we get the correct solution depicted by a dashed red line in the picture), 2) density is infinite (the solution is totally incorrect and corresponds to the case of infinite thermal conductivity). It looks like we have something like this: “kappa = f *(mu*Cp/Pr)“, where f is a function of density. It goes to 1 when density goes to 0 and it goes to infinity when density goes to infinity. Can anybody confirm my assumption? My a little bit updated case can be downloaded here: http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=31692654334161942508 |

Hi Zeppo,
First of all, I apologize for my very late response, I've been busy lately. I will try to respond quickly to your questions... Quote:
Quote:
I don't think this is so strange nor suspicious, radiation is taken into account in your calculations for the fluid region but something "weird" is happening at the boundaries when you set Qr/QrNbr to "none", that is to say, something "not very physical, but mathematically possible" occurs. Btw, the dotted blue line, corresponding to the proprietary software, represents the central region as a fluid or as a solid? And what about the segmented red line? If you want some boundaries not to take part in the radiation exchange in the ViewFactors method you can exclude them in the ViewFactorsDict file. However, I never did it and I have no clue if it can lead to unphysical results... Maybe you could try it and find it out! Quote:
Naaaah... Just kidding! I know it is quite confusing, mainly because of the units, everyone knows that emissivity in a surface is a dimensionless factor. However, in a solid region here is where you can store the value of the emissivity. Another confusing point in this file is the definition of an opaque solid, there it says that as the solid is opaque its absorptivity has a value of 0!!! Someone was drunk when writing this file because what defines the opacity of a surface is its transmitance not its absorptivity! Anyway, I hope that someday someone will change the format file for solid regions so that people don't get confused! Quote:

Let's see if someone else more skilled and clever than us can find the solution of this problem... So far my little contribution for today. I hope it can help you a bit on your multiRegionRadiative adventure! And again, I'm sorry for my late response! Best regards, Alex

Hello, Zeppo,
I would just correct you about kappa and rho effect. Your solutions are NOT converged at all. In thermal stationary simulation, convergence check should be done with some probes, not with residual at 1e-6. In your convergence plot, you see a flat line at 1e-7 after 700 iter, and if you look at the log, you have "No Iteration 0". This mean you don NOT calculate T Field anymore ... What you should do is: set Tolerance to a far lower value 1e-12,, or add "minIter 1;" in you FvSolution File, for the h solver. Thermal simulation have usually a convergence at very low residual value. regards, olivier |

Since it is an incompressible solver all the equations are divided by rho, even the viscosity value to be used should be cinematic rather than dynamic. I don't recall the energy equation in this solver right now, it could be written in terms of kappa or making Pr appear or whatever... anyway if Pr is divided by rho in the equation, the actual kappa would be obtained from cinematic viscosity rather than dynamic. This leads me to the point: when you tried simulating with different rho values did you vary viscosity accordingly? Does this make any sense or sounds just like BS? ps: in my property file I don't even have the equationOfState-rho part, i just change viscosity values for different densities |

So, since you're trying to run a case of chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam based on the multiRegionHeaterRadiation example you probably forgot to adapt some part of one case to the other. Check the bc type in T field of /0/domain2 and /system/domain2/changeDictionaryDict (especially after running changeDictionary). Something else you could do is to see if you have the same issues with similar regions, like domains that have more or less the same bc types. Modify constant/regionProperties and put the similar region before your domain2, eg: solids(domain0 domain1 domain3 domain2) assuming 3 is similar to 2. Now the order of solving has been changed: if it runs until domain2 then domain 3 should be correctly set up. So copy and paste files from domain 3 folder to 2 and adapt it back with the correct values for domain 2. It's actually easier to do than to explain ... Hope it helps, Have fun! |

Hi,
I'm trying to do something based on chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam/planeWall2D. I want to make a solid cylinder suspended in a body of air. To prevent errors I kept as many names as possible, deleting the bottomAir variable from the picture, using topAir as my air volume and wall as my cylinder. splitMeshRegions works okay and split my mesh correctly, but when running chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam I get the following error: Code:

Thank you coccone, I checked my boundary conditions and i found the problem. he issue has been resolved.
Hi Bruno, I had the exact same problem and the issue is in boundary conditions only. I believe you are using changeDictionary to write your BC files. In my case, i found that after running changeDict, all the boundaries were not coming in the boundary conditions file due to some error from my side. I would recommend you to compare your changeDict to the boundary conditions files in 0/topAir and other folders and check if any boundaries are not getting BC's. |

Hi,
I am trying to run a case of chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam based on the multiRegionHeaterRadiation example. My case has 8 solid blocks inside air. The air and blocks are inside a metal cabinet, and also touch the cabinet. The cabinet is in the atmosphere. When i run the case, the temperature diverges and an error "Maximum number of iterations exceeded". Looking at the geometry, the spot where the temperature is diverging lies on the cell where 3 Boundary conditions intersect. I am not able to diagnose the error. Please help!

Thanks Vishesh, it indeed had to do with a missing entry for one of my BCs in the ChangeDict. I hit the next problem though (regarding temperatures reaching negative values and then the simulation crashing) but I feel that's more relevant in another topic so I'll post it there.

Hi Bruno,
you are welcome. I am also facing the negative temperature problem. I have figured that it is because velocity is diverging. You ll notice that velocity diverges in the 1st iteration and then temperature diverges. But i havent figured out the solution yet. Please send me the link of the thread where you will post your problem. |

Hello, I want to simulate a similar case to this one. It is a solid box with a hole in the center containing air. Two faces have fixed temperature wall and others are adiabatics. I tried to download the case of this post but I couldn't. It will help me with my case, I am new with OF and I am a little lost. Thanks a lot!!

Hi i want to simulate flow through one pipe, with two obstacles, this obstacles are inmersed like in the figure.
1.- I export with .msh 2.- splitMeshRegions -cellZones -overwrite (fluid, porosity, solid) This separate my three domains, but the interior faces of my porosity became into wall. I want the fluid flow through the porous media. how can i fix this? |
