The complete TMG-Thermal heat transfer solver capabilities can be explicitly coupled to the TMG-Flow CFD solver capabilities for simulation of strong thermo-fluid interactions and conjugate heat transfer. This multi-physics coupling capability is offered at no extra cost. No additional licenses are required, other than for the thermal and CFD product module. The thermo-fluid solver handles disjoint meshes at fluid/solid boundaries allowing great flexibility in assembly context thermo-fluid interactions. The fluid domain and thermal domain do not need to share nodes at the solid/fluid interface since the coupled solver will create the appropriate heat transfer coupling at all the solid/fluid interfaces at runtime.
The thermo-fluid explicit solver coupling models 3D fluid velocity, temperature and pressure by solving the Navier-Stokes equations:
Laminar and turbulent fluid flow
Incompressible and compressible fluid flow
Internal and external fluid flow
Steady state and transient simulation
Linear and nonlinear applications
Coupled conduction, explicit convection and radiation heat transfer
The flow solver uses an efficient and robust element-based finite volume multigrid solver for fast and reliable solutions. Using advanced finite differenc control volume technology, the thermal solver makes it easy to model nonlinear and transient heat transfer processes.
For the most advanced thermo-fluid modeling requirements:
High-speed rotating systems
Moving and rotating walls
Highly turbulent flow
Particle and scalar data tracking
Humidity distribution and condensation
HVAC in cabin with solar flux including proper attenuation effects and shadowing
Radiative ray tracing in optical systems coupled with surrounding fluid disturbances
