Hi all,

I try to simulate a laminar (Re~ 200) pipe flow with constant wall temperature. I planned to use buoyantSimpleRadiationFoam, since I want to activate later on a radiation model. So far my mesh is not axis symmetric yet; it is just a pretty fine 2D gambit mesh which I translated via fluentMeshToFoam. Later on I want to use makeAxialMesh to simulate axis symmetry. Anyhow, since I have high temperature gradients (1000K at the wall and inflow temperature of 300K), I want to use janafThermo to calculate cp as a function of T. My calculation fails with the message:

Foam Fatal Error: attempt to use janafThermo<equationOfState> out of temperature range 200->6000; T = 137.957

I also tried to set the wall temperature to 300K - same result. anybody have a clue, why this occurs? Maybe wrong Janaf parameter? I used a parameter set from an oxidizer with MW like air, which I found in one of the combustion tutorials. Also, my velocity field looks really weird for a laminar pipe flow.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am using OpenFOAM 1.6
best, Fabian
