Mesh for conjugate heat transfer
 

I have made a 2D geometry and have meshed it in ANSYS 12.0

When i export the mesh to Fluent, there is no shadow wall at the solid-fluid interface. Hence, i do not get the 'couple' option in wall boundary condition ( as i am supposed to find).

Can anyone tell me the reason why this is so?

thanks in advance!

Check ´the connectivity of the faces. If you are a GAMBIT user, the color of the line between two faces should be pink.

Multi-body part...
 

I assume you are using ANSYS Meshing in Workbench...

If you have separate parts, it will mesh them one at a time and the edges won't really be connected. You need to combine these into a multi-body part so they will be meshed together...

There are other posts about how to do this, or you could check the help...

Yes I am meshing ANSYS workbench and i did sort out the problem :)

But now i cant seem to mesh the tube bundle. A straight pipe without bends is meshed easily but one with bends gives an error. Is there a different method to do this?

Help will be greatly appreciated Thanks! :)

Have you specified the mesh method? Perhaps "automatic" won't generate a swept mesh, but specifying swept, along with a source and target surface will do the trick...

Or you could try "MultiZone".

Hi i recently saw ur post on ansys mesher and how u solved the problem such that u get a coupled wall between two interface (eg solid and fluid) i am also using ansys mesher and i would please appreciate it if you could explain to me how you solved it..... Thanks :D

conjugate heat transfer
 

Hi, I work model contain fluid and solid wall when I run in fluent the heat don't transfer from wall (hot) to fluid (cold) in which I mesh each one separately. what wrong ?

Connection between two region
 

Hi
I know this thread is old but i need your advice!
Could you solve your problem? I have same problem! I meshed two region in gambit and when i run my case no heat flux cross the boundary. And just one region have rise in temperature.

Any idea?
Thanks in advance

You should create interface between cell zones.

Hi Antanas
Thanks for your kind response

What kind of software should i creat interface?
I am working with gambit And i defined internal boundary condition between common face.

When i use hex grid for both region it is ok with internal bondary condition for common face but when i use tri mesh it doesnt couple!

Any idea is welcome

Best regards

This is done in your CFD software (for ex. Fluent, CFX).

Hi
But i use openfoam software

I never used OpenFOAM. I bet it has kind of manuals/guides, try search there. Also there's dedicaded forum here where you can ask questions.
