Theoretical Basis of Wall Heat Transfer
For laminar flows, fluid side heat transfer is approximated as:

n = local coordinate normal to wall
For turbulent flows, law of the wall is extended to treat wall heat flux.
The wall-function approach implicitly accounts for viscous sublayer.
The near-wall treatment is extended to account for viscous dissipation
which occurs in the boundary layer of high-speed flows.

Natural Convection - Introduction
Natural convection occurs
when heat is added to fluid
and fluid density varies with
temperature.
Flow is induced by force of
gravity acting on density
variation.
TRN-98-006
Natural Convection - Boussinesq Model
Makes simplifying assumption that density is uniform.
Except for body force term in momentum equation, which is replaced by:

Valid when density variations are small.
When to use Boussinesq model:
Essential to calculate time-dependent natural convection inside closed
domains.
Can also be used for steady-state problems.
Provided changes in temperature are small
You can get faster convergence for many natural-convection flows than
by using fluid density as function of temperature.
Cannot be used with species calculations or reacting flows.

Radiation
Radiation intensity along any
direction entering medium
is reduced by:
Local absorption
Out-scattering (scattering away
from the direction)
Radiation intensity along any
direction entering medium is
augmented by:
Local emission
In-scattering (scattering into the direction)
Four radiation models are provided in FLUENT:
Discrete Ordinates Model (DOM)
Discrete Transfer Radiation Model (DTRM)
P-1 Radiation Model
Rosseland Model (limited applicability)
TRN-98-006
Discrete Ordinates Model
The radiative transfer equation is solved for a discrete number of finite
solid angles:

Advantages:
Conservative method leads to heat balance for coarse discretization.
Accuracy can be increased by using a finer discretization.
Accounts for scattering, semi-transparent media, specular surfaces.
Banded-gray option for wavelength-dependent transmission.
Limitations:
Solving a problem with a large number of ordinates is CPU-intensive.

Discrete Transfer Radiation Model (DTRM)
Main assumption: radiation leaving surface element in a specific range of
solid angles can be approximated by a single ray.
Uses ray-tracing technique to integrate radiant intensity along each ray:

Advantages:
Relatively simple model.
Can increase accuracy by increasing number of rays.
Applies to wide range of optical thicknesses.
Limitations:
Assumes all surfaces are diffuse.
Effect of scattering not included.
Solving a problem with a large number of rays is CPU-intensive.

P-1 Model
Main assumption: radiation intensity can be decomposed into series of
spherical harmonics.
Only first term in this (rapidly converging) series used in P-1 model.
Effects of particles, droplets, and soot can be included.
Advantages:
Radiative transfer equation easy to solve with little CPU demand.
Includes effect of scattering.
Works reasonably well for combustion applications where optical
thickness is large.
Easily applied to complicated geometries with curvilinear coordinates.
Limitations:
Assumes all surfaces are diffuse.
May result in loss of accuracy, depending on complexity of geometry, if
optical thickness is small.
Tends to overpredict radiative fluxes from localized heat sources or sinks.
TRN-98-006
Choosing a Radiation Model
For certain problems, one radiation model may be more
appropriate in general.
Define Models Radiation...
Computational effort: P-1 gives reasonable accuracy with
less effort.
Accuracy: DTRM and DOM more accurate.
Optical thickness: DTRM/DOM for optically thin media
(optical thickness << 1); P-1 better for optically thick media.
Scattering: P-1 and DOM account for scattering.
Particulate effects: P-1 and DOM account for radiation exchange between gas
and particulates.
Localized heat sources: DTRM/DOM with sufficiently large number of rays/
ordinates is more appropriate.

Periodic Heat Transfer (1)
Also known as streamwise-periodic or fully-developed flow.
Used when flow and heat transfer patterns are repeated, e.g.,
Compact heat exchangers
Flow across tube banks
Geometry and boundary conditions repeat in streamwise direction.
Outflow at one periodic boundary
is inflow at the other
inflow

TRN-98-006
Temperature (and pressure) vary in streamwise direction.
Scaled temperature (and periodic pressure) is same at periodic
boundaries.
For fixed wall temperature problems, scaled temperature defined as:

T

Periodic heat transfer is subject to the following constraints:
Either constant temperature or fixed flux bounds.
Conducting regions cannot straddle periodic plane.
Properties cannot be functions of temperature.
Radiative heat transfer cannot be modeled.
Viscous heating only available with heat flux wall boundaries.
Flow must be specified by pressure jump in coupled solvers.
