Attesz is an unknown quantity at this point
Hi CFX users,

I'm modeling an electromotor inner fluid domain including the heat source solid domains. The main problem is that there are little air gaps between the copper conductors (little circles nearby) and they are insulated by varnish. So towards the conductors the heat transfer coefficient is about the value of the copper, but in the orthogonal directions it is reduced because of the air gaps and the insulation.

My first idea is to write to the support to help me how to model the anisotropic thermal conductivity via CCL commands as I read in other topics here.

But I'm interested in your other suggestions about the modelling of this problem.

Thanks in advance,
Attila
