Hello,
I am new in openFOAM and I have the following problem. The solver which I want to use is the chtMultiRegionFoam solver.
I want to model a water flow around a plate. At the bottom water comes into the fluid domain with a velocity of 1m/s and at the top the water goes out. Left and right side are walls. Its a 2D problem. See the sketch attached.

I started with the block mesh and now i have problems in going on.

1. created a block with 10x10x1
2. wrote a file *setSet
cellSet solid new boxToCell (4.5 2 0)(5.5 8 1)
cellZoneSet solid new setToCellZone solid
-> Here i have problems to understand what am I doing. I read another description with doing it with a different definition with teh topoSetDict. I think itīs similar but I am not sure.
3. I need to process the boundary conditions
4. any further steps i didnīt do that at the moment cause i think itīs important to understand what in the previous steps happens.

For any help thanks a lot.

Regards Michael

steps are as followings:
1-create mesh by blockMesh
2-create cellSet and cellZone with topSetDict
3-split mesh with splitMeshRegion command
4-set boundary with changeDictionary
5-define solid and fluid zone in constant/regionProperties
6- run your mesh

The case I talk about in this site was solved with chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam solver and involves radiation. Some basic tutorials are also resolved step by step in the web. If you are interested in these matters, you are invited to come in!
