Hi everybody,
I'm new to this forum and I hope you can help me. Concerning my thesis i have got to simulate convective heat transfer inside an autoclave as well as the heat transfer on a Tool placed inside the autoclave. I am still learning to use ANSYS CFX at the moment. So I want to do some simple test simulations about convective heat transfer from fluid to a solid square inside a duct. I want to simulate the heating of the square from an initial temperature of 300 K, while to sourrounding fluid has a temperature of 1000 K. The fluid domain is meshed with tetrahedrons and inflation layers near the square. The Solid is meshed with a structured mesh. The fluid is air at 25°C, Reference pressure 1 atm, Turbulence Model SST, while the square is of aluminium. I have set both, fluid and solid Heat Transfer to Thermal energy. I have set a domain Interface between solid and fluid and have set heat transfer to conservative interface flux with a contact resistance of 120 W/mēK. The condition at the inlet of the duct are 3 m/s Normal Speed and a temperature of 1000 K. Outlet is Relative Pressure 0 Pa. First i did a steady state simulation with the above parameters and afterwards a transient simulation with initial values from the steady state simulation. The timesteps are 2 min and total time is 30 min. My first results do not seem to be correct. The steady state simulation shows a uniform temperature profile in the square AND the fluid of 1000K. The transient simulation doenst change over time and has the same temperature profile in every timestep. Acutally I am expecting a time dependent heating of the square. 1. Do i have to set the temperature at the inlet to 1000 or 300 K in the steady state simulation? 2. Do I have to choose smaller timesteps? 3. What am I doing wrong? Hope you get my problem. If not, please ask me. Thanks for help. Greetings. |
