Hello!

I am trying to run a film cooling simulation in openfoam using LES. All the tutorials I have seen so far are cold flows without changes in temperature. I would like to know if there is a 'sample test case' for forced convection problems. I have some nice results with RANS but I am struggling with LES. Is there a solver that works best for these types of problems?



In the case below, I have some velocity field in the flow but no changes in the temperature field with time...

I am pretty sure that I am missing something blatantly wrong. Would be nice if someone could point it out please!
