Thermal Simulation
Model a product's thermal performance at the early design stage. Environmental specifications normally quote an operating temperature range and storage extremes - ensure your design will survive early in the design process.
Determine conduction, convection and radiation effects.
(including Solar radiation for various global locations)
Flow simulation incorporating thermal aspects will model: -
- Heat conduction in fluid, solid and porous media
with/without conjugate heat
transfer and/or contact heat resistance between solids and/or radiation heat transfer between opaque solids (some solids can be considered transparent for radiation), and/or volume (or surface) heat sources, e.g. due to Peltier effect, etc.
- Various types of thermal conductivity in solid medium, i.e.
isotropic, unidirectional, biaxial / axisymmetrical, and
orthotropic.
- Fluid flows and heat transfer in porous media
- Two-phase (fluid + particles) flows
- Equilibrium volume condensation of water from steam and its
influence on fluid
flow and heat transfer
- Relative humidity in gases and mixtures of gases
- Periodic boundary conditions.
