Abstract In this manuscript, a finite volume discrete topology optimization method based on the continuous adjoint method is proposed to simulate turbulent flow using the k-omega turbulence model for solving the topology optimization problem of conjugate heat transfer at high Reynolds number. The manuscript simulates the conjugate turbulent convective heat transfer problem at high Reynolds number with a set of Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations coupled with energy transport equations and control equations of the k-omega turbulence model, and implements the methodology by using the variable density method, interpolates the material values of thermal conductivity, heat capacity,… More >

Abstract Temperature-induced cracking during the construction of mass concrete is a significant concern. Numerical simulations of concrete temperature have primarily assumed that the concrete is placed in an open environment. The problem of heat transfer between the air and concrete has been simplified to the concrete’s heat dissipation boundary. However, in the case of tubular concrete structures, where air inlet and outlet are relatively limited, the internal air temperature does not dissipate promptly to the external environment as it rises. To accurately simulate the temperature and creep stress in tubular concrete structures with enclosed air spaces… More >

Abstract Convection and conduction in a fluid flow and a rigid body in contact with each other often occur in engineering situations, resulting in unsteady conjugate heat transfer (CHT). Although the analytical solutions to the separate conduction and convection issues are surprisingly straightforward, the combined conjugate heat transfer problem is substantially more complex to solve. This study investigates the CHT of a fluid (air) passing through an unbounded hemisphere. The hemisphere produces heat at a predictable and regular pace. The governing equations are solved using a finite volume system (FVS) using ANSYS Fluent V.16.0, with axisymmetric, More >

Abstract Thermal parameters are important variables that have great influence on life time of turbine vanes. Therefore, accurate prediction of the thermal parameters is essential. In this study, a numerical approach for conjugate heat transfer (CHT) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to investigate thermal sensitivity of a transonic guide vane which is fully film-cooled by 199 film holes. Thermal barrier coating (TBC), i.e., the typical TBC and a new one as the candidate TBC, and turbulence intensity (Tu), i.e., Tu=3.3%, 10% and 20%, are two variables used for the present study. At first the… More >

Abstract This study deals with the numerical investigation of combined heat transfer via conduction, laminar natural convection, and surface radiation in a closed rectangular cavity with a radiant heating source. Unsteady two-dimensional equations of mass, momentum, and energy conservation for complex heat transfer process under study were formulated in terms of the vorticity – stream function – temperature variables and solved by means of the finite difference method on a uniform grid. Developed numerical code was validated against two benchmark problems of convective and convective-radiative heat transfer. When analyzing complex heat transfer regularities, we varied the… More >

Abstract One of the effective liquid cooling techniques for microelectronic devices is attaching micro channel heat sink to the inactive side of chip. A micro channel heat sink is a device that decreases temperature by flowing coolant through micro channels. The present study focuses on the conjugate heat transfer analyses for different cross-sections (trapezoidal, hexagonal, octagonal and circular).After present study is validated with the published result in the literature, the comparative study of parallel and counter flow configuration is performed. Different geometries are modeled using CATIA V5 software and simulated in ANSYS Fluent R14. From these More >

Abstract This paper investigates numerically the conjugate heat transfer in a concentric enclosure that is formed between two concentric cylinders and filled with micropolar fluid. The wall of inner cylinder is considerably thick, while the wall of outer cylinder is very thin. The inner cylinder is heated from inner side through constant heat flux, whereas the outer cylinder is cooled and maintained at constant temperature. The induced buoyancy driven flow and associated conjugate heat transfer are predicted numerically by solving flow and energy governing equations considering a combination of finite difference and Fourier spectral methods. The… More >

Abstract Analytical solutions for three different flat plate conjugate heat transfer cases are presented. The cases are as follows:transient heat transfer of a thin plate with uniform heat generation; the Luikov problem in which one plate surface is kept in a constant temperature and the other one is cooled by forced convection ; and a modified Luikov problem with heat generation on one surface and convection on both surfaces of the plate. All the cases are solved for both laminar and turbulent flows with P r ≥ 1. The solutions in the paper are based on More >

Abstract In recent years, significant effort has been placed into developing automated multi-physics simulation. The exchange of boundary conditions has lead to more realistic as well as more complex simulations with usually slower convergence rate when the coupling is being performed between two different codes. In this paper the equations of local sensitivities for element centered steady-state combined convection, conduction, and thermal radiation problems are being derived. A numerical analysis on the stability of the solution matrix is being conducted. Partial uncertainties and the relative importance of the heat transfer modes are investigated by their uncertainty More >

Abstract Conjugate heat transfer from a flat circular disk is investigated both computationally and experimentally with a constant heat flux imposed on its bottom surface and a shower head of air jets impinging on the top surface. The shower head consists of a central jet surrounded by four neighboring perimeter jets. Measured temperature data at twelve locations within the plate are compared with the conjugate heat transfer result obtained at the same locations computationally by Shear Stress Transport (SST) κ-ω turbulence model. The spacing to orifice diameter ratio (H/d = 1 to 4), the jet Reynolds… More >
