Heat Transfer between two fluids

Hybrid · February 29, 2016, 23:02

Hi,

I would like to simulate heat transfer between Hydraulic Oil (static at 50degC) and air (static at 15degC). Both the fluids contained inside a cylinder. I want to see velocity vectors like in natural convection and temperature variations in both fluids?

How can I setup simulation to run in Ansys Fluent? How to give temperature to different fluids (Oil and air)?

Will it be a multi phase or single phase heat transfer simulation?

I attached a figure for illustration purpose.

To initialize the temperature the way you need it, I would look the UDF DEFINE_INIT for custom initialization.
