Natural Convection Sneak Peek

Natural Convection Sneak Peek

Sneak peek (featured in our December 2008 newsletter) at our yet-to-be-released Caedium RANS Flow add-on (using OpenFOAM), performing a natural convection simulation driven by a hot plate. The image shows a quarter model (using symmetry) with two views:

  • The left view shows velocity contours in the volume and velocity vectors on a symmetry plane and top.
  • The right view shows temperature contours in the volume and the surface mesh colored by temperature.
