Incorporation of heat generation into a solid

Ashu290192 · February 15, 2016, 00:09

Hii,

I am simulating a solid cylinder with a fluid pipe inside (blood vessel inside the arm) and I want to incorporate heat generation in the whole solid part similar to the heat generation in the arm tissues due to metabolic activities using fluent. Any suggestion on the same???

Thanks for your help in advance.

Regards

You can add a volumetric heat generation (W/m^3).

From the GUI, go to cell zone conditions, edit the zone, check the box to enable the source term.

Then go to the source term tab and create an energy source.
