solver: for unsteady, laminar, in-compressible with heat transfer
 

i cant able to decide which solver i should use?
i am simulating flow in rectangular channel with wall temperature in some region.

i modified icoFoam solver and added energy quation but some of the post processing tools didnt work like wallShearStress and wallHeatFlux.
i dont know what is the probelm, i am getting error

Usage: icoTempFoam [OPTIONS]
options:
-case <dir> specify alternate case directory, default is the cwd
-noFunctionObjects
do not execute functionObjects
-parallel run in parallel
-roots <(dir1 .. dirN)>
slave root directories for distributed running
-srcDoc display source code in browser
-doc display application documentation in browser
-help print the usage


now can i use alternate default solver buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFoam. i dont want to consider buoyancy effect in my simulation and i want to use for laminar flow.

Use buoyantPimpleFoam
 

You can use buoyantPimpleFoam with gravity turned off and laminar model selected in the turbulence properties.

Check the tutorial case in

HI,
buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFoam is used for
Transient solver for buoyant, turbulent flow of incompressible fluid.
&

buoyantPimpleFoam is used for
Transient solver for buoyant, turbulent flow of compressible fluids for ventilation and heat-transfer



so i think i should use buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFoam for incompressible flow.

buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFoam is used for Transient solver for buoyant, turbulent flow of incompressible fluid.

can i use it for steady laminar flow, incompressible, without bouyanct force.
by using g= 0 m/s^2, model=laminar and deltatime = 1

Don't ask the same question twice.
