add concentration
Hello, I am using the case buoyantboussinesqpimplefoam and I would like to add concentration, as I can do it?
I have seen I have to follow the steps as in the tutorial to add temperature, but the equations are not the same, which ones I have to wear? I am new to OpenFOAM and I would like someone to help me. thanks! |

How were you able to add concentration in buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFOAM

The differential equations for heat transfer and mass transfer are the same. You may set concentration as temperature. The thermal diffusity is equvalent to the diffusion coefficient. You may model the changes in fluid weight by concentration loss (at boundaries) too.
The problem I has is that temperature driven density changes and the thermal diffusity are much higher in comparision to mass transfer. It is numerical more demanding to calculate mass transfer. I got giant problems combinating free convection (fluid motion driven by density changes) with external flow, if I used coefficients typical for mass transfer. |
Thank you Piu58,
My challenge is with trying to add concentration in buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFOAM. I am working on a case in which I am using the boussinesq approximation with density a function of both temperature and salinlity. The temperature scalar is already in the solver, need to add salinity too. kindly seeking some guidance on how I can be able to do this. Thank you |
