Heat transfer with solid elements conduction

Hi Emilian. why dont you try rhe icoHeatFoam example given in the OpenFoamWiki:
http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...ure_to_icoFoam

just follow the script.

Hello everybody!
I am new to OpenFoam and Linux, I have just me a question:
which solver choice to study the transient heat transfer in the solid?
Thank you.

For heat conduction in solids: laplacianFoam

We would be happy to work in this field if we can find sponsors.

Hi Henry,

Can you help me to define regions in the LaplacianFoam. I want to add a volumetric heat source to specified points in the Mesh. How can I do this?

If that was possible, I'm very interested in it as well!

Thanks!

Some basic tutorials are also resolved step by step in the web. If you are interested in these matters, you are invited to come in!
