2 heatTransfer
2.1 Problem setup
The problem studied is a hot air flow injected into a container coupled with the heat transfer from the flow to and into the container walls. Numerically, this is solved in a Large Eddy Simulation framework, with a one equation transport model for the subgrid turbulent kinetic energy.
3 Complete Solution
The first approach was to take into account both domains, and to solve two different sets of equations:
3.1 Compressible fluid flow
3.2 Heat conduction in the solid domain
Media:conjHeat.tgz. The test case consists in a solid can (see Figure 1b), in which a hot fluid (700 K) is injected with 0.1m/s through a small area (green face in Figure 1a). The exterior wall surface of the can is kept at a constant temperature of 300 K. File:P1.png
3.3 incompressible
3.4 multiphase
3.5 stressAnalysis

These solvers don't fit into the standard scheme.
4.1 Technology Demos
Solvers that demonstrate concepts, but haven't got a fully implemented physics.
- icoLagrangianFoam Incompressible solver with particles. Demonstrates the use of Lagrangian-particles outside the dieselFoam solver
- icoStructFoam Fluid-Structure interaction. Demonstrates the use of two coupled solvers and mesh motion
Note to editors: Use the solver name as the page name, when adding a new solver to this page, but prepend custom in order to avoid name clashes
