Heat pipe simulation

shahhardikd · March 31, 2017, 04:03

Hi guys,
To get to it, I have been trying to simulate a heat pipe with a wick and have referred to a bunch of papers that mentioned that they specified an inlet velocity and conducted single phase study by flowing water through the wick and vapor in the core. However, I wish to model using the multiphase method and try and model the flow. However, I am using a udf for defining the mass transfer. I am afraid my boundary conditions are not correct and hence, cannot get a good result. Please do get in touch so I can share the case setup!
Appreciate any and all help. Thanks.

Hi!

Which software are you using? I might be able to help

You can consult with me (ksingh@tserc.in). I have worked on heat pipe.

Hi @HGuerra, I am using Fluent. (Ansys version 17)

Ok shahhardikd, I've just finished my master degree dealing with a problem which was about boiling multiphase flow. I think I can help, my email is henrique.p.guerra@gmail.com if you want to contact me.

Best regards
