Hi FOAMers,
As above - can OpenFOAM handle multiple domain/multiple material problems with interior boundaries allowing fluid to pass between each domain? I know the fluentMeshToFoam converter cannot handle multiple materials, but I am not sure whether that is a converter limitation, or a limitation for OpenFOAM in general... (The multiple material points are required for post processing - we are looking at fluid compositions over time in multi-cell chambers) If OF can handle multiple material/domain problems; I'm happy to go off and hunt down the technique myself, but of course any guidance is very welcome! ![]() |

You can do this using a number of techniques:
1) conjugateHeatFoam : see http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-openfoam.html but this is only available in the -dev versions. 2) chtMultiRegionFoam 3) You can "map" transport properties between submeshes and a main mesh. Out of those 3, I prefer conjugateHeatFoam. |
