The purpose of this paper is to investigate the EGM method and the behavior of a solid particle suspended in a twodimensional rectangular cavity due to conjugate natural convection. A thermal lattice Boltzmann BGK model is implemented to simulate the two dimensional natural convection and the particle phase was modeled using the Lagrangian–Lagrangian approach where the solid particles are treat...

Li-ion battery packs provide high energy density but with a concern of thermal management. Hence cooling mechanism is necessary to have good life and reliability on the system. The main objective this article investigate effect conjugate non-conjugate boundary conditions pack heat transfer characteristics. In conditions, coolant flow considered flux continuity at fluid interface. condition, jus...

We present a new immersed method for solving conjugate heat transfer and fluid-solid interactions (FSI). It is based on the use of Non Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) to compute the distance function ans thus representing the immersed solids inside the computational domain. Combined with anisotropic mesh adaptation and stabilized Finite Elements Method (FEM), it allows a novel, efficient and...

A full 3-dimensional (3D) conjugate heat transfer model has been developed to simulate the heat transfer performance of siliconbased, parallel microchannel heat sinks. A semi-normalized 3-dimensional heat transfer model has been developed, validated and used to optimize the geometric structure of these types of microheat sinks. Under a constant pumping power of 0.05 W for a water-cooled microhe...

ABSTRACT This paper supports a concerted effort towards validating an unstructured finite volume methodology for combined flow, thermal and stress analysis of turbine blades. In this part, CFD and conjugate heat transfer solutions are compared against measured surface pressure and heat transfer profiles on the C3X turbine. Sensitivities of the prediction to inlet turbulence levels and laminar-t...

Loop heat pipe evaporators operating under steady state conditions were numerically investigated to describe evaporator characteristics and evaluate evaporator performance. Numerical solutions were obtained for conjugate flow and heat transfer in primary evaporator components. Two geometrical configurations used for cylindrical LHP evaporators, a non-bayonet evaporator and a bayonet evaporator,...
