Anisotropic thermal conductivity

Hey,

I have just a little question, is it possible to define various conductivity in an anisotropic solid?

Best regards.

Hi suitup,

I'm a new OpenFOAM user and just looking for solving this very same issue. Although I might be too late, I'll post a thread that seems to have the solution here, for future users:

thermal conductivity --> anisotropic material

Look for pete20r2 comment, about adding the three directional values in the thermophysicalProperties dict: first specify constAnIso on transport and add the desired values of kappa.

Hope this helps someone,

Marco
