Hello Everyone,


I am trying to understand the cooling sphere case available in tutorial of OpenFoam6.


I didn't get much help online. I have some questions




On running the solver, it seems like inside one box, there is a hot fluid, and then a cooling sphere is inserted inside the fluid to cool it. Does it work like this?


And if we look at the fvoption file in the coolingSphere/system/solid directory, the sphere is provided with certain temperature (around 300K) and with some specific power also.


The brief description of my problem is given below:


I made a geometry of two boxes of equal dimensions,group each of them as two volumes and patch them together in salome.



Then I made a mesh and generated a UNV file of that. Then imported that in OpenFoam.


Now I want to make one box as a heat source, so that it can raise the temperature of the second box.



And I have power as an input for the heat source. Can I do that If I put the fvoption file in the directory of box (heat source), by copying from the cooling sphere tutorial?


Thank you for your help
