Modelling of Headlamp Condensation

nkjsimulating · July 14, 2013, 06:05

Hi Foamers

I want to develop Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methodology in OpenFoam that will predict the condensation formation in an automotive headlamp.

As far as preprocessing is concerned0, I can generate desired mesh file in ANSA but quite confused with the BCs and selection of solvers.

can anyone guide me ??

Thnks

Hallo nkjsimulating,
just so you know. Every Company do her own Simulation. If you are planning on simulat only the headlamp you should take a look in the Company website. for example Osram.

Can u tell me in which stage you are with the Simulation?

Best wishes

thnks for your valuable suggestion.

I am figuring out the best method to solve my physical problem with OpenFoam..I have read couple of NAFEMS benchmark for this..and looking forward to set up my problem.
