This is part of a masters thesis: "Automatic Regulation of Industrial Processes in OpenFOAM"
This project aims to provide a way to simulate automatic regulation in OpenFOAM CFD framework. It's two main components are:
Regulator, a component responsible for generating control signal based on current system state and specified target value.- Boundary conditions using
Regulator, acting as an acutor and used to integrate the Regulator with OpenFOAM case.
Task: control flow rate at inlet to maintain target temperature at outlet. PID algotirhm is used.
Task: control heat flux from floor to maintain a target temperature of the room. On/off regulation is used.
