Rayleigh–Bénard Convection Using buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFoam

Here is an extremely simple simulation to set up that has a surprisingly beautiful output. In this post, we will simulation the classic Rayleigh–Bénard convection (see Wikipedia) in 3D using the buoyant solver, buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFoam. buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFoam is a solver for buoyant, turbulent, incompressible flows. The incompressible part of the solver comes from the fact that it uses the … Continue reading Rayleigh–Bénard Convection Using buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFoam
