hi foamers
I am new to the OpenFoam , I have one question . In general CFD solvers we have boundary condition and volume condition. But in OpenFoam I am not getting how to define volume conditions , can anybody give some information about how to define volume conditions in OpenFoam. with regards. |

Do you mean initial conditions?
In that case, you should check the setFields pre-processing tool. |

Thanks for the information.
I have checked the setfields and I think it is something similar specifying information related to volume condition properties . Thanks once again. with regards Ravindra. |

Dear foamers,
I have a question, which is related to this one. I have a problem and in a certain volume of the domain I want to impose a certain temperature. I am having a look at the setfields options. Hope to solve it. Do you know if what I wanna do is feasible? Thanks a lot, Sam |

Do you mean for the whole duration of the simulation? setFields will not help you a lot, it is only meant to be used for the initial conditions.
I am afraid I don't know how to do that (at least without messing with the code). |

I am afraid I have to edit the source code, too.
Reading this thread it seems it's pretty easy. But I can't und which are the files I have to edit and what I have to write. In fact I am running OpenFOAM 2.0 and I am running the buoyantSimpleFoam solver. Could you help, please? Thanks a lot! |
