heat transfer w/o turbulence

Andrev · May 10, 2011, 16:06

hello all,
I'm new using openfoam..
I need help to choose a solver to heat transfer channel but without turbulence or radiation... which solver should i choose for my case?
Can i use buoyantPimpleFoam without turbulence ?

Thanks!

of cause...! For any of the solvers, can be used to run laminar flow, I pressumed is your case by simply using "laminar" and "off" for RASModel and and "turbulence", respectively in "RASProperties" file.
