1 How to add temperature transport to icoFoam

This HOWTO will cover rudimentary methods for altering an existing solver (icoFoam) to solve thermal transport.


2 Copy and recompile icoFoam

This will go through the steps of creating a personal version of icoFoam in the user's subdirectory.


3 Adding the temperature field

This will show the steps to add another field variable to a solver. Also, add a new dimensioned constant.


4 Adding a new equation to solve

This will show the steps to adding a new equation.


5 Add a new file for initial and boundary conditions

This will show the steps to modifying the t=0 files.

6 What to add in fvSchemes

How to modify fvSchemes for your new solver.

7 Benchmarking your new solver

This may end up being a different page, but it will show a case study of the Blasius flat-plate flow problem.
