SIMULIA R&D has another great fluids-based physics simulation example to share with you as part of R2022x GA. In this example, titled Heat Exchanger Efficiency, you learn how to define and run a steady-state fluid flow simulation for a crossflow heat exchanger. After running the simulation, you visualize and analyze the pressure, temperature, and flow velocity of the fluid inside the heat exchanger, as well as the contours of the fluid flow. Based on the results, the example points to aspects of the heat exchanger that you could redesign to optimize heat transfer.
This example complements the current portfolio of existing fluids-based physics simulation examples. For example, it builds upon the other internal fluid flow example, Analysis of Airflow through a Duct, by teaching you how to create surface definitions, define and apply new types of boundary conditions, and evaluate thermal effects. Similar to other examples, it teaches you some best practices for setting up a simulation using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform (for example, using the tree and the Assistant, inspecting your mesh, and performing model and scenario checks). By completing this simulation example, we hope to cement what you currently know about the 3DEXPERIENCE platform while challenging you to learn more about running simulations with these fluids apps:
- Fluid Model Creation
- Fluid Scenario Creation
To complete this example yourself, see Heat Exchanger Efficiency.
