Hi
I am working on multi phase change solver called, reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam.I have boiling and condensation at boundary. instead of constant temperature at wall, I want to apply heat flux and openFoam automatically calculate wall temperature. The library that I used is called "fixedMultiPhaseHeatFlux, for example when I have boiling, I set this boundary for T.water at wall and for another phase T.steam I applied, "copyFixedValue"(see end of message). My problem is that, when I set heat flux of 2000 W/m2 for wall, when my running is complete, the value of heat flux that I gather from all control volume at wall is not exactly the value that I set as input, it has error of 4-15 %. I want to know anyone has ever worked with library before, what is your experience about this?
thanks a lot for your attention

Hey! Have you solve the problem? I met the same question.
