The nonConformalCHT template case is designed to help create a conjugate heat transfer (CHT) simulation in which fluid and solid regions are coupled with non-conformal coupled (NCC) interfaces. It includes an Allmesh script which provides example commands to generate the meshes for the fluid and solid regions using the 'snappyHexMeshConfig' utility, and to generate NCC interfaces using 'createNonConformalCouples'. The remaining workflow to configure and run the CHT simulation is similar to the 'singleFluidCHT' template case.
OpenFOAM Configuration
The main OpenFOAM settings are located in the parent etc/ directory. The bash and csh shells are supported and to configure OpenFOAM source etc/bashrc or etc/cshrc respectively which source the following files in the config.sh or config.csh respectively:
settings: core settingsaliases: aliases for interactive shellsunset: sourced to clear as many OpenFOAM environment settings as possiblempi: MPI communications library settingsensight: application settings for EnSightparaview: application settings for ParaViewscotch: application settings for compiling against scotchmetis: application settings for compiling against metis 5
The config.*/example directories contains various example configuration files for the corresponding shell:
