direct coupling film and bulk flow

preibie · November 8, 2011, 04:49

Hallo,

I use the new solver reactingParticleFilmFoam (openFoam 2.0.1) to simulate a thin water Film on a plane. I tried the tutorials from this solver.

One thing I miss is the direct coupling of the film (surface) velocity and film (surface) temperature as a boundary condition for the main flow (bulk flow).

Has anybody some information about this topic?

thanks Preibie

Yes, the OpenFoam 2.1.1 does not have it yet. You should implement it but the classes are not very well documented. Therefore it should add some difficulty to it.
