Energy convergence problem resulting from anisotropic thermal conductivity

Hello everyone.
I am simulating heat transfer in electric machines and I am using anisotropic copper to define the winding on the stator teeth. For testing, I am using a cuboid body to simulate the winding and define the axial thermal conductivity as 200 and that of non-axial direction as 0.7. The resulting temperatures are unexpected, very high in some areas and very low in some areas. Also the convergence of thermal energy is "going up" instead of "going down". Does anyone know what could be cause of this issue?? Thanks for any suggestions. |
