bouyancy effect

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi

I found that with the multiphysics module using laminar flow and heat conduction in solids

on air in a closed cavity with temperature defined boundaries and gravity volume force I get

flow patterns. Does this simulate the bouyancy effect correctly?

From my experience, the heat transfer module (with conjugate heat transfer) is needed if you have a heat

source in the model plus a fluid flowing in

but in the above example the multiphysics model seems to be enough

thanks

David
