Coupled Thermo-Mechanical SPH Solution

kknight

Is it possible for Radioss to solve a transient coupled thermo-mechanical problem using smooth particle hydrodynamics? 

 

For an example,

My fluid's viscosity is strongly a function of temperature, where temperature is strongly a function of strain and time, where strain is a function of temperature, viscosity, and power input. Can anyone tell me if Radioss is an appropriate solver for this type of problem?

Hi Radioss can handle some type of heat transfer.

But depending on the thermal loading, the time needed to reach the desired thermal energy transfer can be huge.

And Radioss is more suitable to short duration events.

there is not details on the structure side of your study, but would worth also check on the Optistruct to Acusolve FSI capabilities.
