Compressible Flat Plate with coupled hydrodynamic/thermal boundary layer -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

September 14, 2016, 15:45	Compressible Flat Plate with coupled hydrodynamic/thermal boundary layer	#1
Obad Member Obad Join Date: Sep 2013 Posts: 42 Rep Power: 13	Hello, I'm new to OpenFoam and trying to solve the flow over a flat plate for already more than a week... I want to calculate the compressible flow over a zero pressure gradient heated flat plate. I'm using the rhoCentralFoam solver and my boundary conditions are: velocity: fixed at inlet, no slip at wall, zero gradient for farfield and outlet pressure: fixed at inlet and outlet, zero gradient for farfield temperature: fixed at wall, fixed at farfield, zero gradient at inlet and outlet If I solve the problem without the heating of the flat plate I get a reasonable result for the hydrodynamic boundary layer. However, when I increase the plate temperature the results for the hydrodynamic BL are messed up and the temperature BL looks reasonable instead... Since flat plate flow is a standard problem I guess someone of you can help me Cheers!
