Steady-state solver for buoyant, turbulent flow of incompressible fluids.
Original source file buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam.C
Uses the Boussinesq approximation:
\[ rho_{k} = 1 - beta(T - T_{ref}) \]
where: \( rho_{k} \) = the effective (driving) density beta = thermal expansion coefficient [1/K] T = temperature [K] \( T_{ref} \) = reference temperature [K]
Valid when:
\[ \frac{beta(T - T_{ref})}{rho_{ref}} << 1 \]
