) is primarily applied to model flow at low to intermediate Reynolds numbers in situations where the temperature and flow fields have to be coupled. Typical examples include natural convection, where thermal buoyancy forces drive the flow, temperature dependence of constitutive parameters, and curing. This is a multiphysics interface for which the nonlocal couplings between fluid flow and heat transfer are set up automatically. The Nonisothermal Flow, Laminar Flow interface in the Polymer Flow Module has extended functionality, including additional boundary conditions and the Boussinesq approximation.
) is used to model nonisothermal flow of viscoelastic fluids.
) is intended for modeling the curing of polymers during the heat treatment. The Curing Reaction Heating multiphysics coupling allows to account for reaction heating.
