CONJUGATE HEAT TRANSFER
FLUIDYN-MP-CHT: CONJUGATE HEAT TRANSFER
fluidyn-MP-CHT
(Conjugate Heat Transfer) is a numerical tool to simulate heat transfer in
fluids and structures.
It simultaneously couples the heat conduction and mechanical stress in structures as well
as the flow and heat convection in the fluids in contact.
RAPID, ROBUST AND ACCURATE SOLUTIONS
fluidyn-MP-CHT
is a module of the general multi-purpose fluid mechanics software fluidynMP. The numerical methods (Finite Elements or Finite Volumes) have been chosen in order
to model as precisely as possible the fluids and structures. The heat transfer coefficient
through the boundary layer is computed in finite volumes with a fluid dynamics model. This
coefficient is then used by the structural model (in finite elements) to simulate the heat
conduction in the structure and the subsequent deformation.

The simultaneous strong coupling of the solvers used in fluidyn- MP CHT is a state-of-theart approach.
Thus fluidyn- MP CHT couples the finite element structured mesh (which allows to
increase the conduction time step) and the finite volume modelling of fluids which
helps to easily integrate the complex physical phenomena often present in fluid
mechanics. This ensures fast and accurate results.
