February 11, 2015, 03:55	Phasors in OpenFoam to simulate AC current flow	#1
Nicole Member Nicole Andrew Join Date: Sep 2014 Location: Pretoria, South Africa Posts: 58 Rep Power: 12	Hi, I need to simulate the current flow through various molten layers in a furnace, between 3 electrodes. The supply is 3-phase AC current. I do not want to have to simulate down to the time scale for the AC current so I would like to use phasors to represent the electrical supply. Once I have this, I think I will just use a modified laplacianFoam to simulate the current flow through the molten layers. Does anyone know if OpenFoam supports the use of phasors/imaginary numbers in any way? It would be great if I could figure this out! Thanks, Nicole
