Contact Interface - Thermal conductivity

Joao Eliaquim · May 4, 2021, 21:04

Good night,

I have a problem communicating the boundaries of my 3D solid, I have two phases, one solid and one gaseous. I want to analyze the heat transfer between them, but they are not communicating. The solid dissipates heat as if there is no gas interface inside.

I've already created an interface, but to no avail. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?

Try checking the Interface by:
a) checking the boundaries if you use Boundary-based Interfaces;
b) right click on Interfaces in the tree -> Reset -> Initialize and take a look at what the log says;
c) displaying it in the Scene;

If its the gas you are mainly interested in, I'd suggest to remove the solid parts and treat them as walls with properties specified depending on your case.
