Conjugate heat transfer by boundary-domain integral method

摘要

A novel approach to the numerical simulation of conjugate heat transfer is presented. Heat conduction in a solid is implicitly coupled with heat convection in viscous fluid flow. The frame of the solution is the Navies-Stokes equations set for viscous Newtonian fluid. A formulation for planar geometry is described in detail. The main advantage of the presented approach is implicit handling of the heat transfer conditions at the solid-fluid interface. Computed test examples include conjugate forced convection in a channel and conjugate natural convection in cavity.
