OpenFOAM has two solvers (chtMultiRegionFoam and chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam )  for the simulation of heat transfer across different materials.  When a solver has the keyword simple in its name in OpenFOAM, it means it uses SIMPLE algorithm for pressure-velocity decoupling, Moreover, it represents it is a steady solver.
