LS-DYNA® R7: Conjugate heat transfer problems and coupling between the Incompressible CFD (ICFD) solver and the thermal solver, applications, results and examples.

LS-DYNA version R7 includes CFD solvers for both compressible and incompressible flows. The incompressible CFD solver (ICFD) may run as a stand alone CFD solver for pure thermal fluid problems or it can be strongly coupled using a monolithical approach with the LS-DYNA solid thermal solver in order to solve the complete conjugate heat transfer problem. This paper will focus on the thermal part of the ICFDthermal and conjugate heat transfer problems will beillustration and discussion purposes. solver and its associated features. Several results of presented as well as some industrial applications for
