No conjugate heat transfer between solid (cast iron) and fluid (water)

Rajaero · August 21, 2018, 22:00

Hello guys,
I am working on conjugate heat transfer problem in fluent. In my problem i have one solid zone (cast iron) and one fluid zone (water). cold water flowing inside to the solid part (like water flowing in a pipe). water is used to cool the solid part. I have created coupled interface (wall and wall shadow) between solid and fluid zone. The solution converged but there is no conjugate heat transfer occurs. I tried this problem many time with all possible way. please help me with this.

Boundary condition:
water inlet velocity = 2 m/s
water inlet temp = 303K
outlet pressure = 2.5bar
solid part temperature = 453K (I dont have h and heat flux value)

Questions:
1. how to set thermal boundary condition if i only know solid temperature?
2. solution converged but no conjugate heat transfer taking place?

Thanks in advance...Its urgent please help me with this guys.

The thermal boundary condition at wall and wall shadow should be coupled and not a temperature or heat flux. The momentum BC is no-slip.
