Hello,
This is my first time attempting to model utilizing Star CCM+ 5.0.2, and I am finding it is a very powerful tool. I have a heated air flow through a pipe that is experiencing natural convection on the outside. To model this I created two bodies, one for the heated flow, and one for the solid body. I then made a contact surface interface between the two. The outside of the pipe boundary was assigned as convection with room temperature as the constant temperature.
I get heat distribution within the fluid flow, but I get nothing through the solid region. I am trying to determine what conditions I should be setting at the boundaries. Any help would be appreciated.
