ACU-T: 3100 Conjugate Heat Transfer in a Mixing ElbowAcuConsole
This tutorial provides the instructions for setting up, solving, and viewing results for a simulation of 3D turbulent-flow with conjugate heat transfer in a mixing elbow. It is designed to introduce you to the HyperWorks CFD tool set with a simple problem.
The basic steps in any CFD simulation are shown in ACU-T: 2000 Turbulent Flow in a Mixing Elbow. The following additional
capabilities of HyperWorks CFD are introduced in this
tutorial:
- Simulating heat transfer within a fluid
- Simulating heat transfer between a fluid and a solid (conjugate heat transfer)
- Creation of a new material model
- Modeling of surfaces shared between solid and fluid volumes
- Propagation (copying) of settings from one surface group to another
