Conjugate Heat Transfer Through Multiple Materials

Olds88 · June 24, 2014, 11:20

Hi all,

I'm trying to do a 2D simulation of conjugate heat transfer.

I have a zone of solid cells surrounded by another zone of solids cells that is placed in a fluid flow. I specified a heat source for the inner zone and have coupled wall conditions at all of the interfaces between the solid and fluid zones.

When I run the simulation, there is no temperature variance within the solid zones. The entire solid is at the same temperature even though there is air flowing around it.

Shouldn't I see lower temperatures around the edge of the solid?

Nevermind, I figured out my problem.
