chtMultiRegionFoam with anistropic diffusivity
Functionality to add/problem to solve
chtMultiRegionFoam/solidFoam supports anisotropic diffusivity. This gets calculated by converting at startup the thermo properties into the coordinate system.
It does not recalculate the properties
- if the thermo properties change (e.g. temperature varying alpha)
- if the coordinate system changes (e.g. cylindrical coordinate system, pivoting across second axis)
Target audience
Anyone using cht with changing solid properties.
Proposal
Two possibilities:
- have option to update/correct coordinate system and update anisotropic diffusivity accordingly
- not cache aniAlphas but calculate it on-the-fly
