Class
Foam::solvers::film
Description
Solver module for flow of compressible liquid films
Uses the flexible PIMPLE (PISO-SIMPLE) solution for time-resolved and
pseudo-transient and steady simulations.
Optional fvModels and fvConstraints are provided to enhance the simulation
in many ways including adding various sources, Lagrangian particles,
radiation, surface film etc. and constraining or limiting the solution.
solvers::film is derived from solvers::isothermalFilm adding an energy equation
and temperature update with support for heat transfer to the wall using the
standard ThermophysicalTransportModels library utilising the filmWall patch type
or mappedFilmWall for CHT heat transfer to the adjacent solid region. A huge
advantage of this consistency with the rest of OpenFOAM is that the standard
thermal coupled boundary conditions can be used without modification, e.g.
temperatureCoupled.
Two variants of the rivuletPanel tutorial case are provided,
tutorials/modules/film/rivuletPanel demonstrates heat transfer to a fixed
temperature wall and tutorials/modules/CHT/rivuletPanel demonstrates conjugate
heat transfer to a thin aluminium panel simulated in a region using the
solvers::solid solver executed with solvers::film using foamMultiRun.
More functionality will be added through the power of fvModels.

About OpenFOAM
OpenFOAM is a free, open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package released by the OpenFOAM Foundation. It has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organisations. OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics.
