I must construct a simply model of a transitory absorber tube of a system solar through. In the circular tube flows pressurized CO2 (incompressible) and it is uniformly heated by a heat flux X. The flow is turbulent. What is the best solver in this case? I started with simpleFoam but missing the temperature. I thought to use the solver buoyantBoussinesqPisoFoam or buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam. I am beginning well? Thank you very much for the answers
