[Heat-Fluid-Structure Coupling Example] Cooling of a Metal Pipe

Cooling water absorbs heat from the metal pipe while flowing! The solver uses the high-precision version R10.1.0 of MPPDYNA.

We will introduce a case where cold water is flowed through a high-temperature metal pipe for cooling, analyzed as a thermal-fluid-structure coupled problem. The solver used is the R10.1.0 high-precision version of MPPDYNA, with parallel computation on 16 CPUs. As a result, the metal pipe is cooled and the temperature decreases, while the cooling water absorbs heat from the metal pipe as it flows, resulting in higher temperatures downstream. Additionally, the temperature at the surface in contact with the solid becomes higher than that on the inside, and in the final state, the temperature of the metal pipe approaches the temperature of the fluid (283.15[K]). 【Key Keywords】 ■*ICFD_BOUNDARY_FSI: Specify the fluid-structure coupling boundary ■*ICFD_CONTROL_FSI: Set default values for fluid-structure coupled analysis ■*ICFD_BOUNDARY_CONJ_HEAT: Perform heat exchange with the solid at the fluid-structure coupling boundary ■Other: Input *CONTROL_SOLUTION, soln=2 to set up thermal-structure coupled analysis *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
