Droplet evaporation is ubiquitous in everyday life and is essential in many industrial processes, such as inkjet printing, cleaning/coating of surfaces, and phase change heat transfer. This model demonstrates how to model phase transition by a moving exterior boundary condition using ... Read More
The model demonstrates the basics of the 3-omega method. The coupled electromagnetic heating problem is solved in a solid sample which is heated by a thin copper strip, deposited on the surface of a sample. Analyzing the frequency dependence of the voltage oscillation amplitude, we ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to vary the inlet temperature in a superheated steam drying process so as to minimize the time, while constraining both the energy consumption and the final moisture content. Read More
This example is a variant of the Composite Thermal Barrier tutorial and shows how to set up multiple sandwiched thin layers with different thermal conductivities in two different ways. First, the composite is modeled as a 3D object. In the second approach the Lumped Thermal System ... Read More
The Magnus effect explains the curl that soccer players can give the ball, resulting in the enjoyable goals that we can see in every FIFA World Cup™. This model looks at the Magnus effect in the laminar and turbulent flow regimes for transient and stationary flows. It also discusses ... Read More
This tutorial presents the averaging models available within the Heat Transfer in Porous Media interface, used to compute the effective thermal conductivity, when the local thermal equilibrium assumption is made. The models are compared for porosities ranging from 0 to 1, and for a ... Read More
This model evaluates the temperature distribution in 3 buried cables in a situation where the soil surface temperature is known. The temperature profile obtained with a thermal circuit approach for the cables is compared with a FEM approach. The thermal circuit properties are established ... Read More
This example is about the modeling of the fiber drawing process. Thermal fiber drawing is a process in which a comparatively thicker structure is heated and drawn into extended lengths of microstructured fiber. This process is done by passing them through the furnace and pulling them ... Read More
This tutorial illustrates how to use built-in variables and operators, for the evaluation of the bulk temperature along a geometry like a channel, a pipe or a chimney, in a nonisothermal flow in 2D and 3D. The bulk temperature may be needed to compute the heat transfer coefficient for an ... Read More
This example studies heat transfer in a composite two-dimensional structure. Four materials with distinct thermal conductivities k compose the structure. The top and bottom boundaries are facing environments respectively at 0°C and 20°C. The temperature distribution and the heat flux ... Read More
