Hi,
I have never used OpenFOAM-1.6.x.

But it works using OpenFOAM-1.6 and the same data works with OpenFOAM-1.7.

Hi Robert,

you have normally two kinds of boundary conditions:
set a fixed value, for example the temperature or set a gradient for example wallheatflux. You mkust know more details of yoyur...

Hi panda60,

you need to understand how the temperature-field is determined with the basic turbulence models (like kepsilon). Normally you set a turbulent Prandtlnumber as a constant (e.d. 0.9) and...

Hi David,

if you solve a turbulent flow you have to use k=alpha_eff=alpha_laminar+alpha_turbulent p.e. for RANS. So because you don't know alpha_turbulent pre the simulation if you're using a...

Hi Stawrogin,

I'm using OpenFOAM-1.6. For the wallheatflux I implemented a boundary condition downloaded from the wikipage of OpenFOAM.

Hello stawrogin,

I think alphaEff and kappaEff is the same, look:

For the wallheatflux:

gradient = heatflux / (alphaEff * cp0 *rho0)

with
heatflux = J/(s*m^2)

Hello,

kappaEff at the buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam solver and alphaEff in the turbulentHeatFluxTemperature patch are the same variable. So rename one of them, recompile it and that's it.
