Conjugate heat transfer, requires implementation of new temperature scalar transport equation

[sezerh24]

Hi,

I think this is an excellent code.

is it possible to give an example of conjugate heat transfer for the flow around a cylinder to determine the Nusselt's number correlations?

a similar example is given below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skvU9fUaUzM

We do not solve for temperature, but a temperature-transport equation could be included indeed. Still, this is not in our roadmap, but we would be happy to provide hints/support in doing so.

Thank you for your feedback. So, any scalar solver (i.e. Finite Volume Solver) can be integrated with waterlily.jl? I am using VoronoiFVM.jl(https://github.com/j-fu/VoronoiFVM.jl) and and JFVM.jl (https://github.com/simulkade/JFVM.jl). In VoronoiFVM.jl voronoi meshes are used, so it would be very difficult to map the velocity field (from waterlily) into the grid. However, JFVM is using cartessian grid. But it is not using immersed boundary method for curved geometries.

No, I was not implying other solvers can be integrated. I was mentioning that a scalar transport equation could be implemented in WaterLily, and solve it for temperature.

oh okay, thank you. So, how it could be done? I am not familiar with the waterlily architecture. would you be able to help me for the implementation of a scalar transport solver ?

Not at the moment. But we can add it as a feature to be considered in our (now way to long) to-do list.
