When radiation occurs across a very narrow gap this is often well-approximated as radiation between infinite parallel plates. This model considers three aluminum plates separated by narrow air gaps. The model compares the classical approach, based on the Surface-to-Surface Radiation ... Read More
This case shows how to simulate moisture transport in a homogeneous wall under isothermal conditions. With this assumption, an analytical solution can be calculated. The homogeneous layer is initialized in moisture balance. At the beginning of the simulation, the relative humidity of ... Read More
This tutorial shows how to simulate coupled heat and moisture transport in a wall made of a load bearing and an insulation layer. Moisture and temperature conditions vary with time on both sides of the wall and rain loading is included. The 1D model is a benchmark test defined in ... Read More
Fluence rate is a key parameter for ultraviolet (UV) water purifier. It describes the amount of radiation that pathogens absorb and is then directly related to the disinfection level of the purifier. The aim of this example is to demonstrate the fluence rate calculation with the ... Read More
The purpose of this model is to introduce the Thermal Insulation feature available in Heat Transfer interfaces. Thermal Insulation is the default feature for external boundaries. An additional Thermal Insulation node is necessary in order to apply a thermal insulation condition to an ... Read More
This model simulates a cylindrical furnace with isotropic scattering. It validates the use of the Discrete Ordinates Method for 2D axisymmetric cases, comparing the results with the highly accurate Monte Carlo method. The setup and reference Monte Carlo values are given in: R .P. Gupta, ... Read More
This tutorial model demonstrates the use of the multiphysics coupling feature Thermal Connection, Layered Shell, Edges. In this model, three layered shells are connected to heat domains by edges at difference locations related to the heat domains. The results obtained with the Heat ... Read More
This tutorial model demonstrates the use of the Area Scaling Factor (ASF) in the Heat Transfer in Shells interface, to account for the curvature of the layers when applying heat fluxes and heat sources. The results obtained with the Heat Transfer in Shells interface applied to a ... Read More
This tutorial model shows how to use the Heat Transfer with Radiation in Absorbing-Scattering Media multiphysics interface to model light diffusion through a slab of particles, with the corresponding heating due to absorption and scattering. The numerical results are compared to an ... Read More
Cryer's problem is a three-dimensional consolidation benchmark. A porous sphere is subjected to a uniform boundary pressure. The pore pressure at the center of the sphere rises due to the Mandel-Cryer effect that is captured by a two-way coupling between Darcy's law and solid mechanics. Read More
