Dear Formers,

I apologize in case this question has already been asked, all related topics are quite old.

I'm looking to simulate the thermal-hydraulics of a boiling water reactor on OpenFoam. I don't think I have the time or the ability to develop a new solver, and I think the existing ones can do the job.

I'm looking for a solver that can simulate two-phase flows with compressible phases, including a dispersed phase (vapor/liquid water) with heat exchange. The aim is to simulate nucleate boiling along a pipe.

My research points me towards the original twoPhaseEulerFoam solver or this framework (the cfd-online thread). However, do you know of an update of this framework that would be more recent and compatible with more up-to-date versions of OpenFOAM? Any other tips?


Thanks to everyone
