Conjugate Heat Transfer

Tutorial cases for conjugate heat transfer simulations using multiPhysicsFoam.

Conjugate heat transfer (CHT) couples fluid and solid thermal domains through a shared interface, allowing heat conduction across region boundaries.

Cases


Flow Over Heated Plate

Classical conjugate heat transfer validation case with a heated flat plate (Vynnycky et al.).

Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger

Industrial conjugate heat transfer case: shell-and-tube heat exchanger with inner and outer fluid regions and a solid shell.
