Chapter 1: Analyzing Thermal Phenomena
A thermal analysis calculates the temperature distribution and related thermal quantities in a system or component. Typical thermal quantities of interest are:
? ? ? ?
The temperature distributions The amount of heat lost or gained Thermal gradients Thermal fluxes.
Thermal simulations play an important role in the design of many engineering applications, including internal combustion engines, turbines, heat exchangers, piping systems, and electronic components. In many cases, engineers follow a thermal analysis with a stress analysis to calculate thermal stresses (that is, stresses caused by thermal expansions or contractions). The following thermal analysis topics are available:

About GUI Paths and Command Syntax
1.1. How ANSYS Treats Thermal Modeling
Only the ANSYS Multiphysics, ANSYS Mechanical, ANSYS Professional, and ANSYS FLOTRAN programs support thermal analyses.
The basis for thermal analysis in ANSYS is a heat balance equation obtained from the principle of conservation of energy. (For details, consult the Theory Reference for the Mechanical APDL and Mechanical Applications.) The finite element solution you perform via ANSYS calculates nodal temperatures, then uses the nodal temperatures to obtain other thermal quantities.
The ANSYS program handles all three primary modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation.
1.1.1. Convection
You specify convection as a surface load on conducting solid elements or shell elements. You specify the convection film coefficient and the bulk fluid temperature at a surface; ANSYS then calculates the appropriate heat transfer across that surface. If the film coefficient depends upon temperature, you specify a table of temperatures along with the corresponding values of film coefficient at each temperature.
For use in finite element models with conducting bar elements (which do not allow a convection surface load), or in cases where the bulk fluid temperature is not known in advance, ANSYS offers a convection element named LINK34. In addition, you can use the FLOTRAN CFD elements to simulate details of the convection process, such as fluid velocities, local values of film coefficient and heat flux, and temperature distributions in both fluid and solid regions. 1.1.2. Radiation
ANSYS can solve radiation problems, which are nonlinear, in four ways:
? ?
By using the radiation link element, LINK31 By using surface effect elements with the radiation option (SURF151 in 2-D modeling or SURF152 in 3-D modeling) 第 4 页 共 79 页

? ? By generating a radiation matrix in AUX12 and using it as a superelement in a thermal analysis. By using the Radiosity Solver method.
For detailed information on these methods, see Radiation. 1.1.3. Special Effects
In addition to the three modes of heat transfer, you can account for special effects such as change of phase (melting or freezing) and internal heat generation (due to Joule heating, for example). For instance, you can use the thermal mass element MASS71 to specify temperature-dependent heat generation rates.
1.1.4. Far-Field Elements
Far-field elements allow you to model the effects of far-field decay without having to specify assumed boundary conditions at the exterior of the model. A single layer of elements is used to represent an exterior sub-domain of semi-infinite extent. For more information, see Far-Field Elements in the Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Analysis Guide. 1.2. Types of Thermal Analysis
ANSYS supports two types of thermal analysis:
1. A steady-state thermal analysis determines the temperature distribution and other thermal
quantities under steady-state loading conditions. A steady-state loading condition is a situation where heat storage effects varying over a period of time can be ignored.
2. A transient thermal analysis determines the temperature distribution and other thermal quantities
under conditions that vary over a period of time. 1.3. Coupled-Field Analyses
Some types of coupled-field analyses, such as thermal-structural and magnetic-thermal analyses, can represent thermal effects coupled with other phenomena. A coupled-field analysis can use
matrix-coupled ANSYS elements, or sequential load-vector coupling between separate simulations of each phenomenon. For more information on coupled-field analysis, see the Coupled-Field Analysis Guide. 1.4. About GUI Paths and Command Syntax
Throughout this document, you will see references to ANSYS commands and their equivalent GUI paths. Such references use only the command name, because you do not always need to specify all of a command's arguments, and specific combinations of command arguments perform different functions. For complete syntax descriptions of ANSYS commands, consult the Command Reference. The GUI paths shown are as complete as possible. In many cases, choosing the GUI path as shown will perform the function you want. In other cases, choosing the GUI path given in this document takes you to a menu or dialog box; from there, you must choose additional options that are appropriate for the specific task being performed.
For all types of analyses described in this guide, specify the material you will be simulating using an intuitive material model interface. This interface uses a hierarchical tree structure of material categories, which is intended to assist you in choosing the appropriate model for your analysis. See Material Model Interface in the Basic Analysis Guide for details on the material model interface.
