Include rectangular/square fin in square cavity
Title
Question
Good evening sir,
by your videos i have learned many things also i am doing research using openfoam too. still i am learner.
my work is " study of convection in side the square enclosure with rectangular fin "
square cavity of length 1m X 1m.
In side the cavity i want to include rectangular fin of length 0.6m X 0.2m.
please tell me the idea so that i can do it.
what solver to be used ?
with out fin i have used buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam for my results.

Answers:
Hi Vnarayanan.wgl,
Is your problem 2D or 3D ?
If you are solving a 2D case you can create the geometry using blockMesh.
For a 3D geometry you can use any CAD software for creating the geometry and Mesh it. The mesh file can then be imported into OpenFOAM and solved.
I cannot really comment on the type of solver you are using, you can have a look at the solver list available in the user guide and check mainly for solvers related to Heat Transfer.

You can go through the tutorial on Creating Simple geometries in OpenFOAM on the Spoken-Tutorial website for creating your blockMeshDict file. User Guide of OpenFOAM can also be useful for understanding blockMeshDict file.
