Heat transfer analyze with rotating mesh

ChriK · May 30, 2016, 04:02

Hello everyone,

I'm new in OpenFoam and I have a basic question: Is it possible to analyze with OpenFoam the average heat transfer coefficient of rotating geometries in a turbulent flow domain depending on the velocity of the cooling flow, the rotation velocity of the geometry, the temperatures of cooling flow and the geometry,… I ask this question because according to the OpenFoam C++ Documentation (http://openfoam.com/documentation/cp...ml/a11233.html) you can choose moving mesh solvers, but than in this category there is no heat transfer solver included? I am at the very beginning with CFD so I’m sorry if this is a stupid question…

Thank you very much!

Hi, I want to calculate in heat transfer solver with rotation but I can not understand ,how I will add this rotation.Can anyone help me?.
Thank you very much

Hi guys,

I am new to OpenFoam and having exactly the same question if any of you solved it would you please share with me your learning.
