Question about AcuSolve heat transfer CFD

Hello everyone,

 

Would it be possible to use results from a Virtual Wind Tunnel simulation to form boundary conditions (i.e. inlet velocities) for a heat transfer CFD simulation?

 

Thanks for your help!

    what version of VWT are you using?
    If you are using VWT for AcuSolve, you will be able to map the CFD result into AcuConsole mesh to perform subsequent analysis by using Project Solution command.
    For VWT UltraFluidX, i have no idea.

    With AcuSolve you can perform the conjugate heat transfer simulation as one model, though you'll probably want to use AcuConsole as the preprocessor for that.  I don't know if VWT (AcuSolve) has the inputs for heat transfer, but AcuSolve itself has the capability for both flow and heat transfer.

    Thank you both for your help, I will look into AcuConsole for mapping the CFD result from VWT or creating a simulation for both flow and heat transfer simultaneously.
