selective calculation of turbulence equation

wolfindark · February 16, 2017, 22:16

Dear All,

Problem definition:
I have an interconnected multi-compartment model air filled inside. A steam injected from one compartment. Around the steam jet, there is turbulence, but in the other compartments, air is almost stagnant where I do not want to solve the turbulence equations.

Question:
How can I implement a selective solution of turbulence equations.... ?

Thanks

What software are you using? It seems that you have two different problems coupled. Quite challenging but from a technical point of view is not impossible. Multi physics solver may help you to solve this.

I use OpenFoam-dev (OpenFoam foundation).
I made a hybrid solver from sprayFoam and buoyantPimpleFoam.
