Day 13
On Day 13 we will focus on topics, which include thermal processes. These processes are rather common in the industry and the modeling can be rather challenging. For this we will take a look at the possibilities OpenFOAM offers and concentrate on
- free convection
- conjugate heat transfer
- reaction modeling
- thermophysical models
Go back to "3 weeks" series.

Free convection
Conjugate heat transfer
Sometimes it is important to consider the heat conduction in a solid wall to correctly model the temperature on a given wall. For that you have to do modifications in your case setup. This tutorial shows you a simple example, where a simulation is explained step-by-step. The focus is on:
- case setup
- running the simulation
- postprocessing
- file description
- understanding the physics
- boundary layer
- analytical solution
- interpreting the results
Reacting elbow
In some cases you will encounter flows with chemical reactions. It is important to correctly include the reaction into your simulation setup. This tutorial gives you a short introduction into the possibilities OpenFOAM offers. You will learn about
- boundary and initial conditions
- multi-species and reaction modeling
- dictionaries
- running the simulation
- postprocessing
ThermophysicalModels library
In this tutorial your will get an introduction into the thermophysical models in OpenFOAM. You will learn how to implement your own models. The focus is on
- thermophysical models
- implementing your own thermophysical model
- implementing your own transport model
- understanding the physics
End of Day 13
We arrived at the end of Day 13. We hope, that you found the information useful and that you will come back tomorrow for even more. Until then we wish you a pleasant day.
