conjugate heat transfer?

Hi,All

Whether the conjugate heat transfer can be modeled in Fluent? One more question, sources can be added on the wall or solid-fluid interface? Thank for help, Tim

You must have in your geometry a two-sided wall. When Fluent read this kind of geometry in the thermal conditions you will have a conjugate heat transfer condition.You can specify a heat generation rate, but may be in your problem you will have to write an UDF for this.

See: Fluent User Guide Cap.6, pp 6-65.
