I wanted to start a threat to discuss about the present state of conjugate heat transfer solvers in OpenFOAM.
Recently I have been trying to carry out a research project based on cht and in reviewing literature I have found this:http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~hani/kur...eport_Turo.pdf Here, the author clearly states that cht solvers in OpenFOAM are considerably worse than other commercial options in terms of convergence speed. Furthermore, in the OpenFOAM.org funding article (https://openfoam.org/news/funding-2017/) they explicitly mention that "Heat transfer, including conjugate heat transfer (CHT)" require "significant code refactoring and/or rewriting" and will be addressed in upcoming versions. With this said, do you believe that state of cht codes are good enough to invest time and effort into serious research in conjugate heat transfer using OpenFOAM? Thank you for your opinions. |
