Hi,

I need to produce a CFD model of a dry wall (3m tall, 0.6m wide) with a cavity of 90mm thick and 16mm plaster boards on either sides of the cavity (interior and exterior).

The steps in the conjugate heat transfer model should include the followings.

1) I need to model for variable exterior temperature on the exterior plasterboard wall surface (Use profile option to define variable temperature boundary condition)
2) Then the heat should conduct through the solid plasterboard (I need to define variable Specific heat and Conductivity --> User-defined materials)
3) Then the inside surface of the outer wall cavity will heat up and Radiate and Convect Heat to the air cavity inside and to the opposite face of the internal plaster board)
4) Due to the previous step the the opposite face inside the cavity will heat up and the internal plasterboard conduct heat
5) Then the internal surface should radiate and convect heat to ambient temperature.

Please help me to sort out and define all these steps in Ansys-Fluent

Thank you in advance
Rusthi
