radiation in flow simulation

Amin Faegh Jul 10, 2017 1:35 PM

I want to consider radiation in my flow simulation model. The model is a hollow cylinder with a bar in the middle as heat source and air as a fluid. The analysis type is an internal one. I want to consider radiation from the heat source surface and see how it affects the temperature inside the cylinder and also across the cylinder wall. Just wonder how to define my radiative surfaces? Thanks.

Just to clarify, I want to consider radiation from heat source surface(bar). My heat source is a volume heat source. Do I need to define radiation source as well on my heat source? Can someone help me how to set up radiation problem in a flow simulation? I attached the model . Thanks.

    Do you know how can I get the actual files? I mean the Solidworks tutorial files.

      If you go to the menu and click Help>SOLIDWORKS Simulation>Flow Simulation Online Tutorial, it will take you to some online tutorials that will help.

        Yes,It takes me to a pdf file, but what if I want to get the actual Solidworks model so I can run it on my computer.

        You can download some flow sim training files here: SOLIDWORKS Simulation Training Files | SOLIDWORKS
