Magnetic refrigerator Modelling
 

Our project this year involves the cfd modelling of a Magnetic refrigerator.

Basically, a heat transfer fluid flows through a mesh of Gadolinium (a rare earth metal) and through a series of heat exchangers. The gadolinium is heated and cooled by a magneticfield and the fluid transfers the heat from the metal to the heat exchangers.

I was wondering if anybody has had any experience with cfd modelling with this type of setup?

Im quite new to cfd so any help at all would be appreciated.
