CFDRC has been a leader in the development and application of
high fidelity tools for modeling heat transfer and thermal management.
This expertise ranges from ballistic heat transfer across thin micron
scale layers to large scale convection and radiative heat transport
Physical Models for Heat Transfer:
Computational Multiphysics, Control Volume (CV) Approach to model:
- Conduction
- Natural/Force Convection
- Conjugate Heat Transfer
- Thermal Radiation (Gray, Non-Gray, Specular, Semi-Transparent)
- Surface to Surface
- Discrete Ordinate Method
- Monte Carlo
- Induction Heating (Electro-magnetic)
- Chemical Reactions (Exothermic and Endothermic)
