Udemy – Advanced Conjugate Heat Transfer Simulations in OpenFOAM

This comprehensive course is designed to take you from fundamental heat transfer principles to advanced thermal and buoyancy-driven flow simulations in OpenFOAM. Through carefully structured, hands-on lectures, you will learn to model and solve a wide range of thermal problems, covering conduction, convection, radiation, and conjugate heat transfer (CHT) across both fluid and solid regions.

The course begins with foundational concepts such as heat conduction using the laplacianFoam solver, introducing the governing equations, boundary conditions, and diffusion properties. From there, you will progress to buoyancy-driven flows, learning to simulate temperature-induced density variations in incompressible fluids using the Boussinesq approximation, and eventually tackling fully compressible buoyant flows with buoyantPimpleFoam.

You will gain in-depth knowledge of:

• Setting up multi-region meshes and defining solid and fluid regions for CHT simulations.
• Configuring boundary conditions, solver parameters, and thermophysical properties for both incompressible and compressible solvers.
• Incorporating radiation effects using the finite volume discrete ordinates method (fvDOM) and gray diffusive boundary conditions.
• Implementing source terms such as heat fluxes, pressure gradients, and custom energy inputs using FVOptions.
• Improving solution accuracy by selecting appropriate discretization schemes (fvSchemes) and understanding their impact on pressure, velocity, and temperature fields.
• Applying the Finite Area (FA) method to efficiently model thin surfaces and thermal shells without excessive meshing.
• Visualizing, analyzing, and interpreting simulation results including temperature gradients, vortex shedding, and radiation effects using OpenFOAM-compatible tools.

This course is highly practical: all lecture notes, step-by-step instructions, and OpenFOAM case files used in demonstrations will be provided, allowing you to reproduce every simulation on your own and use them as templates for future projects.

By the end of this course, you will be fully capable of setting up, running, and analyzing advanced heat transfer and buoyant flow simulations, optimizing solver settings, handling multi-region and coupled problems, and applying best practices in OpenFOAM for both research and engineering applications.
