Abstract

In this paper, a new second-order two-scale (SOTS) method is developed to predict heat transfer performances of periodic porous materials with interior surface radiation. Firstly, the second-order two-scale formulation for computing temperature field of the problem is given by means of construction way. Then, the error estimation of the second-order two-scale approximate solution is derived on some regularity hypothesis. Finally, the corresponding finite element algorithms are proposed and some numerical results are presented. They show that the SOTS method in this paper is feasible and valid for predicting the heat transfer performances of periodic porous materials.
