Summary

By default the energy equation is not active when the mesh is first loaded, because many problems are isothermal. In this case, temperature must be calculated so the energy equation needs to be enabled. The onset of turbulence is specified by the Reynolds Number (pipe flow) or Rayleigh Number (natural convection). Calculating these numbers for this geometry and conditions indicates that the flow will be laminar and so no change is required to the viscous model.

Again, modify the Copper Material to create the a new material called component using the same steps as above
Selecting No will create a new material fr-4, but copper remains in the material list. Selecting Yes would overwrite the copper material for the current case only (its still in the database).

The Fluent database contains basic properties for many materials. These are generally set to the standard STP/RTP values, but always check these are suitable before proceeding.
Additional materials can be added to the database; refer to the user documentation. It is often easier to copy a material from the database and then modify it; alternatively, you can modify the default material of aluminium and then choose not to overwrite.

Set the PCB outer surface thermal properties to be adiabatic:
These are the external surfaces of the model The surfaces to set are wall_board_bottom and wall_board_side Set these to zero heat flux as above
Note that the surface wall_board is the surface of the PCB that borders the fluid air region, and so is not an exterior boundary

The volume of an entity can be reported from the Volume Integrals panel. Note that
the solution must be initialized before the volume integrals are enabled
Here, adiabatic conditions have been set for the external walls. However if needed, Fluent can model an external boundary in several different
ways, including: Known heat flux (W/m2) Known heat transfer coefficient (eg for natural convection from a vertical plate) Heat transfer through radiation (by setting emissivity and temperature). Note this is not related to radiation models available within Fluent Shell conduction in the outer wall (hence fields for material and wall thickness)

The solution is now ready to run. However this will take 5-10 minutes to converge, so you may prefer to fast-track to pre-converged data file we have supplied: To run the model yourself, enter 100 Iterations then Calculate.

Models with natural convection often show transient behaviour in some parts of the flow. Using Pseudo-Transient with large time steps can sometimes (as in this case) enforce a steady state solution.

The method determines the view factor from each wall (or boundary) surface facet (mesh cell) to every other facet. Clustering is used to reduce the number of facet calculations needed in the actual solution. Neighbouring facets are grouped together based on the set values and other geometric factors.

iii) Computing Maximum Temperature
In the top toolbar, click on the calculator. Set the options maxVal solid_heatsource All Cases Temperature Then press Calculate icon to launch the function
Note that with radiation, the temperature in the solid is lower than when radiation was not included The cooling of the component is mirrored with an increase in the temperature of the walls around the fluid zone. This can be seen if you plot the temperature on the walls or use the Function Calculator with the areaAve function

Flow Displays
To visualize flow patterns different methods can be used including Streamlines, Vector Plots and Isosurfaces
Insert an Isosurface Insert > Location > Isosurface set the Variable to Velocity with a value of 0.5m/s. Gradually reduce the value to 0.2 and notice that for the radiation case higher speed flow can be observed close to the fluid walls as well as the PCB Insert a Vector Plot Insert > Vector Set Location to Centre Change Sampling to Equally Spaces with 1000 Points Go to the Color Tab and set Range to Local Go to Symbol Tab and Select Normalize Symbols This will help to investigate the range of small velocities (=small vectors)

Wrap-up
This workshop has shown the steps needed to set up a simulation that includes: Heat conduction within a solid (indeed several solids, each of different material properties) Conjugate heat transfer to the fluid from the solid The effects of natural convection The effects of thermal radiation In addition, a side-by-side comparison of the results has been performed in CFD-Post. In this case we were interested in the maximum temperature in the electronic component. We have seen that Radiation has a strong influence on the results. Knowing your aims from the start will help you make sensible decisions of how much of the part to simulate, the level of mesh refinement needed, and which numerical schemes should be selected.
