This tutorial incorporates both multi-region conjugate heat transfer and natural convection in a STAR-CCM+ simulation. The three-dimensional grid is converted to a two-dimensional one and also scaled to the appropriate size before being used for the analysis. All conditions and properties are defined via the STAR-CCM+ GUI and solved using the coupled solver. The results are displayed via the post-processing tools available in STAR-CCM+.
The analysis includes the following heat transfer modes:
Radiation effects are not included as part of this analysis.
