Heat transfer simulation in electric motor by using fluent

thuanckdlvn · March 20, 2013, 04:32

Hello everyone,
I am new in fluent. I am working on heat transfer problem of electrical motor. I have already created model and now am setting my problem. However, I do not know how to setup boundary condition for model. My problem has some heat sources. I want to simulate the heat transfer from the solid parts to air which flows on the surfaces. Have you ever simulated the same problems? Please, help me to setup it.
Thanks for your assistance!

Have a look at the tutorial 'Using the Mixture and Eulerian Multiphase Models' in fluent. I think it will answer many of your questions.
