Hi Everyone,

I'm attempting to run some simulations of a heater submerged in water using OpenFOAM v2112 and chtMultiRegionTwoPhaseEulerFoam. My simulations runs without error but it appears my heat source region is not producing any heat flux.

Having compared the heat transfer tutorials which use a heater region in OpenFOAM9 to OpenFOAM v2112, they do not seem to use the same approach, which has caused my confusion.

Shown below is my unsuccessful attempt to produce a working heat source, would anyone please be able to advise me about how I can produce a heat source using OpenFOAM v2112 and chtMultiRegionTwoPhaseEulerFoam.

Thank you in advance for your time and help.
