Heat Transfer in Solids
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ solves the governing equation for energy transport within a solid using either the finite volume method or the finite element method.
For the finite volume method, the following solid energy models are available:
Additional models are available to model heat transfer in solids:
- Heat Transfer in Solid Shells
- Exothermic Solids
- Average Circumferential Heat Flux
For the finite element method, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ provides the Finite Element Solid Energy model. The Finite Element Solid Energy model is compatible with both solid and shell regions.
