Modeling Heat Transfer in the CFD Module
Heat transfer is an important phenomenon in many industrial processes. Often, a fluid plays a major role in transporting the heat and a detailed description of the flow field is necessary to accurately describe such processes. Typical examples are heating and cooling operations. Chemical reactions and phase changes are other commonly occurring phenomena. The temperature, in turn, affects the fluid properties and can alter the flow field. Natural convection is an example of this.
