Hello. This is a discussion post. It would be good if I get to hear multiple views, from personal experiences.

There are multiple stages before pressing the "start simulation button". CAD modelling, meshing, identifying the IC and BC, identifying the solver model among others.

So, i would like to know from the community here, how AI is being used? Even better, where is AI being introduced and why?

I am asking this, because I feel that AI will not increase the speed of the entire simulation process, apart from executing or monitoring the iterations.

Hi all.

I am solving heat transfer problem in OpenFOAM v13. Not exactly the right tool to use, but I can only use open source software, so I am using it.

My problem involves air speeds of 12 m/s*s (max) and initial temperature difference of 100K between the inlet and walls inside the domain. the air flow will be the main tool for decreasing the temperature of the walls by striking it.

Having read the background on solvers in OpenFOAM, there are no solvers for incompressible, heat transfer flows.

My question: I need to calculate the temperature of the walls inside the domain at the end of the simulation. so, which solver to use? I know I cannot use simpleFoam or incompressibleFluid. I used fluid solver and the results are constantly diverging. So, which solver to use?

If not a specific solver, can I use layered solver, like simpleFoam combined with thermal solver? is yes, how?

Thank you.
