Hello,

I have edited the question I asked here because it could be misunderstood.

I would like to ask whether there is any difference between the following two scenarios in terms of value to be defined for heatSource in OpenFOAM:

1. A scenario where the fluid does not contain a heat source (like the heatedDuct tutorial)
2. A scenario where the fluid does contain a heat source (like the coolingSphere tutorial)

I also have another question:
In the coolingSphere tutorial, which uses chtMultiRegionFoam, how can we model a case where there is no airflow (i.e., no inlet or outlet)?
Can the fluid boundary conditions be taken directly from the hotRoom tutorial in this case? Or how should such a case be modeled in general?

I once asked for help on the forums by sharing a case file to get advice on the boundary conditions for this kind of setup, but I didn’t get a response at the time. I would really appreciate any help you can provide on this matter.
