Conjugate Heat Transfer [chtMultiRegionFoam]

Tutorial link: YouTube Video

Description: This tutorial video is on how to setup a case for conjugate heat transfer problem in OpenFOAM. Also how we can add a volumetric heat source and how to to post-process some data while running the simulation like, maximum and average temperature for each region.

Points covered:

  • Copy a base case
  • Understand folder structure
  • Define solid-fluid regions
  • Add volumetric heat-source
  • Basic runtime post-processing
  • Visualize in ParaView
