In the previous posts we looked at creating cylinders in OpenFOAM and running heat conduction simulations with these. We exploited symmetry in blockMesh to create a 90o cylinder section, rather than a full cylinder. Since no heat transfers in the circumferential direction, we could have produced any angle and the result would have been the …
We’ll continue exploring cylindrical heat transfer in OpenFOAM in this post. At the end of the last post we had obtained some results with the help of Paraview so in this post we’ll look at validating these results with the exact analytical solution for radial heat transfer. We’ll also look at an alternative post-processing method …
A Look at Cylindrical Heat Transfer in OpenFOAM: Part 3 Read More »
Here we cover boundary conditions and solution for a simple cylindrical heat transfer system in OpenFOAM. We then begin to look at post-processing in Paraview.
Here we begin to look at cylindrical heat transfer and temperature distributions in OpenFOAM by learning how to create cylinders with blockMesh.
Heat flux and convective boundary conditions can be combined into a single boundary condition using swak4Foam with OpenFOAM. Here we learn how it’s done.
Convective boundaries are common in thermal applications. Here we implement the convective boundary condition for thermal analysis in OpenFOAM with swak4Foam.
We explore the heat flux boundary condition using laplacianFoam in OpenFOAM. Other thermal boundary conditions include temperature, convection and radiation.
Here we check the results produced by OpenFOAM for a steady, one dimensional heat conduction system to see if they agree with the analytical solution.
Here we continue to solve the heat conduction equation with OpenFOAM. We look at boundary conditions, system properties and solver settings within OpenFOAM.
Here we begin to solve the heat conduction equation with OpenFOAM. We start by looking at geometry and some aspects in OpenFOAM related to this.
