Dear Foamers,

I'm working on a case with a multiphase flow (I'm using compressibleInterFoam to solve it). I want to add to it the resolution of heat transfer in a solid (Thick Wall).
I'm now imposing a temperature at the wall, but I want in the next step to model the heat transfer between the wall and the fluid. For this, I suppose that coupling compressibleInterFoam and exchanging the wall temperature calculated with chtMultiRegionFoam would be enough.

I couldn't find on litterature a way to exhange these informations between solvers. Is there anyone that can suggest help on it, please.

I would be glad to exchange with you and give you further information, such as files and case.

Regards,

chtMultiRegionFoam and equivalents.

Hello,

Although not a perfect match, Dr. Trushar B. Gohil has an example that is similar to what you want to do. After selecting Facebook Beginning OpenFOAM link, select reference [1], and look under programming module. He combines the scalar transport equation to various solvers.

Thank you for your answer. The Openfoam.com version there is the chtMultiRegionTwoPhaseEulerFoam solver which can handle this type of problems. The only inconevnient is that is uses an Euler-Euler approach for the fluid region. From my tests, the Euler-Euler approach doesn't catch the interface as good as the VOF approach. I have some few problems with using openfoam.com in my computer also.

Thank you Chris for your answer. I'll have a look at the this training. It seems interesting.

Hello Mehdi. I am currently using interThermalPhaseChangeFoam by Nabil et al to solve evporation/condensation problem. However, I am having a hard time customizing this problem into conjugate problem. If you solved multiphase heat transfer problem combined with solid region, can you give me some help?

Thank you

John
