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.

OpenFOAM has several heat transfer solvers such as:
- buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFoam, buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam
- buoyantPimpleFoam, buoyantSimpleFoam
- chtMultiRegionFoam, chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam
The third edition of my book on numerical simulation using OpenFOAM is available for Persian users in book stores.
