The simulation uses an exhaust manifold to couple a solid heat transfer model with a fluid heat transfer model in a steady state analysis. Prior to a coupled simulation an uncoupled flow simulation with simplified boundary conditions is carried out.

• Coupling type: Thermal surface coupling
• Analysis type: Steady state with pre-computed flow field
• Special topics: Subcycling of fluid solver, incompressible fluid, 3D-model
• Codes:
  • Solid heat transfer: Abaqus, ANSYS, MSC Marc
  • Fluid heat transfer: FLUENT, OpenFOAM, STAR-CCM+
• Quantities: FilmTemp, WallHTCoeff, WallTemp
