Hello,

I am using openfoam version 7 and i want to run a steady-state Conjugate Heat transfer analysis.

In openfoam version 7 there is no slover like "chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam". They are clubbed.

from openFoam v7 documentation:
chtMultiRegionFoam Solver for steady or transient fluid flow and solid heat conduction, with
conjugate heat transfer between regions, buoyancy effects, turbulence, reactions and
radiation modelling.

So i ran my case with the command chtMultiRegionFoam. I am getting the error:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
keyword PIMPLE is undefined in dictionary "/home/kpit/OpenFOAM/kpit-7/run/tutorials/heatTransfer/chtMultiRegionFoam/PFC_half_plate/system/fluid/fvSolution"

file: /home/kpit/OpenFOAM/kpit-7/run/tutorials/heatTransfer/chtMultiRegionFoam/PFC_half_plate/system/fluid/fvSolution from line 22 to line 56.

From function const Foam::dictionary& Foam::dictionary::subDict(const Foam::word&) const
in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 708.

FOAM exiting

i used SIMPLE as my algorithm since its steady state. Can anyone help?

Just replace:

ddtSchemes
{
default Euler;
}

with:

ddtSchemes
{
default steadyState;
}

in:

fvSchemes

for all regions!

And replace SIMPLE with PIMPLE in fvSolution for all regions.

Peter

PIMPLE is used for transient solver right? so how can we use it for steady-state?

Hi Peter,

Thanks for replying. But PIMPLE is used for transient solutions right?
