I am a new (unexperienced) OpenFoam user.
I have an unsteady conjugate heat transfer problem to solve. As far as I could see so far, "chtMultiRegionFoam" is the convenient solver for this purpose. However, I have additional processes that play a role: combustion, radiation and buoyancy. Does anybody know, if these processes can also be modelled within chtMultiRegionFoam, and if not, is it possible to create a convenient solver ? |

Quick answer: Radiation and buoyancy is already integrated into "chtMultiRegion*Foam". Combustion isn't integrated into it.
Implementing combustion into "chtMultiRegion*Foam" depends strongly on the type of simulation that you're planning to perform, because there are several types of combustion: http://www.openfoam.org/features/sta...php#TBL-1-55-1 |

Thank you very much indeed for the quick answer. The combustion model does not need to be a sophisticated one, a "simple" model would do. For example Eddy Dissipation Model, where eddy dissipation rate and the Arrhenius rate are compared and the smaller one taken to be rate limiting, based on a two-step or a single-step global reaction mechanism would be sufficient. Could you please give a hint in this direction ?

Quick answer: I'm not familiar enough with the implemented combustion models in OpenFOAM, so I don't know which one is the most similar to what you're asking. Nonetheless, you can check the source code for each one within the folder that is indicated by this command:
Code:
echo $FOAM_SOLVERS/combustion |

Hi, I am curious, have you made any progress on this topic? I have the same problem to solve. Cheers. Laszlo
