OpenFOAM Tutorial Standard Solvers boundaryFoam = = = = = = = = Steady-state solver for 1D turbulent flow, typically to generate boundary layer conditions at an inlet, for use in a simulation Example Problems: boundaryLaunderSharma model which has the ability to in model cases and predict by-pass transition, using the Launder equations. boundaryWallFunctions solves a 1D turbulent model with two walls and one cyclic boundaries. bubbleFoam = = = = = = = = Solver for a system of two incompressible fluid phases with one phase dispersed, e.g. gas bubbles in a liquid Example Problem: bubbleColumnclassic bubble column problem with an inlet and outlet for the foam and bubbles and two walls. buoyantFoam = = = = = = = = = Transient Solver for buoyant, turbulent flow of compressible fluids for ventilation and heat-transfer Example Problem: hotRoom 3D environment with one inlet, the “floor”, which the user can make any temperature and watch the thermal effects. i.e., thermal plume emanating from a 600 degree source on the floor buoyantSimpleFoam = = = = = = = = = = = = = Steady-state solver for buoyant, turbulent flow of compressible fluids for ventilation and heat-transfer Example Problem: hotRoom same as the first hot room, however this solver is steady state, showing a longer process, rather than transient. buoyantSimpleRadiationFoam = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Steady-state solver for buoyant, turbulent flow of compressible fluids with radiation, for ventilation and heat-transfer Example Problem: hotRadiationRoom a much finer mesh room than the previous two hotRoom cases, along with an elevated heating source, radiation channelOodles = = = = = = = = = Incompressible LES solver for flow in a channel Example Problem: channel395 solves for channel flow, with several cyclic patches and only two top and bottom walls. Able to keep the mass flow rate in the channel constant, by calculating the velocity at eac
