Computational code for conjugate heat transfer problems: An experimental validation effort

Abstract

A coupled finite volume/boundary element method was previously developed to solve the transient conjugate problem of convective heat transfer over and conduction heat transfer within a solid body. In this approach, the flowfield and forced convection heat transfer external to the body is resolved by numerically solving the time dependent Navier-Stokes equations using a finite volume method, while the temperature field within the body is resolved by numerically solving the heat conduction equation using a boundary element method. The boundary discretization utilized to generate the computational grid for the external flowfield provides the boundary discretization required for the boundary element method. Coupling of the to fields is accomplished by enforcing interface continuity of heat flux and temperature. Transient heat transfer data needed to verify the code was obtained in a series of experiments reported herein. Details of the experimental setup and test conditions are provided. Numerical results have thus far shown very good agreement with obtained experimental data.
