buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFoam is used for Transient solver for buoyant, turbulent flow of incompressible fluid.

can i use it for steady laminar flow, incompressible, without bouyanct force.
by using g= 0 m/s^2, model=laminar and deltatime = 1

thank you.

Steady:
Use buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam

Laminar:
Just turn off turbulence modelling in the "constant/turbulenceProperties" file

Incompressible:
Yes

Without buoyancy:
If you set the buoyancy force will be zero. However, gravity will be off as well, is that what you want?
If not, you can just edit the solver and delete the buoyancy force.

i have edited icoFoam and added energy equation. it worked but when i used wallShearStress and wallHeatFlux then i got some kind of error.

Usage: icoTempFoam [OPTIONS]
options:
-case <dir> specify alternate case directory, default is the cwd
-noFunctionObjects
do not execute functionObjects
-parallel run in parallel
-roots <(dir1 .. dirN)>
slave root directories for distributed running
-srcDoc display source code in browser
-doc display application documentation in browser
-help print the usag

could you please help me to figure it out what am i doing wrong?
Thank you
