Convection/ Heat Flux Applied As A Surface Load• Convection and flux boundary conditions can be applied as

surface loads on:– the solid model (lines in 2-D, areas in 3-D), regardless of whether

the model has been meshed ( ANSYS SFL, SFA commands )– on element faces ( ANSYS SFE command )– on nodes (ANSYS finds the faces of the elements that have all

the faces in the node set and then applies the convection to the element faces) ( ANSYS SF command )

• Only one type of thermal surface load can be applied to a given entity. That is, one cannot apply a flux and a convection boundary condition directly to the face of a given element.

Training ManualWhy Use Surface Effect Elements?

• Gives additional flexibility in defining which temperature is used to define temperature-dependent film coefficients, surface temperature, fluid temperature, average temperature, absolute value of differential temperature.

• Allows the user to apply multiple surface loads (e.g., flux and convection) to a given element face or region.

• Provides a convenient means to model convection effects when the bulk temperature is unknown. Elements have an extra node that can be connected to other elements (e.g., thermal-flow elements-FLUID116) in the model.

• Elements can be used to model surface heat generation effects since heat generation rates can be input as body loads (requires thickness real constant input).

Why Use Surface Effect Elements? (continued)

• Allows simple radiation effects to be included, e.g., radiation to the atmosphere.

• Provides a convenient means to postprocess surface flux and convection results on selected regions of the model.

• Provides a convenient means (listing the reaction heat flow) to assess net heat loss/gain by convection when extra node temperature is fixed at the bulk temperature.

Special Capabilities of Surface Effect Elements• Fluid bulk temperature can come from the extra node (using

D command or an attached element) or can be specified (SFE command).

• Film coefficient specified by the SFE command can be modified by activating the user subroutine USERCV with the USERCAL command. USERCV can be used to modify the film coefficient of a surface element with, or without, the extra node. This allows users to incorporate company specific, film coefficient correlation's into the program (refer to the ANSYS Programmer’s Manual for more information).

• Other options for evaluating the film coefficient and bulk temperature are available if FLUID116 elements are connected to the third node.

Procedure To Create Surface Effect Elements with Extra Nodes• Assuming that Thermal/Flow elements (FLUID116) are not to

be used with the surface effect elements, follow this procedure to create surface effect elements with extra nodes:

– Define surface effect element type with “extra node” option.– Mesh the 2-D or 3-D solid regions as usual. – Create the extra node(s). – Select nodes on the surfaces where surface effect elements are

needed and select the solid elements attached to them.– Set the default attributes (element type, material type, real set) to

correspond to the surface effect elements to be created.

• (Procedure for creation of surface effect elements with use of FLUID116 elements starts on viewgraph 7-31.)

• The convection link element (LINK34) can be used for many purposes:– as a convection connection in thermal network models– as a convection connection between thermal/flow elements and 2-D and 3-

D thermal solids (normally surface effect elements are easier to use)– as a means of specifying contact resistance/conductance at the interface of

two or more parts. Since the convection element does not require a length, nodes I and J can be coincident (unlike the conduction link elements LINK32 and LINK33).

Contact Resistance

• Two surfaces (at different temperatures) in contact experience a temperature drop across the interface. The drop is due to imperfect contact between the two surfaces. The imperfect contact, and hence the contact resistance, can be influenced by many factors such as:– surface flatness– surface finish– oxides– entrapped fluids– contact pressure– surface temperature– use of conductive grease

Contact Resistance (continued)

• Typically when contact resistance effects are desired, a convection element is used to connect the contacting surfaces. This approach requires that the nodes of each surface be aligned (usually coincident). The use of convection elements is preferred to use of conduction links since thermal resistance is not a function of element length with the convection links (convenient for flush surfaces with coincident nodes).

• Two common approaches to contact resistance are described on the next three (3) viewgraphs.

Row of shared extra nodes

Modeling Contact Resistance with Surface Effect Elements• The 2-D SURF151 and 3-D SURF152 thermal surface

effect elements can also be used to simulate contact resistance.

• When using surface effect elements in this manner, two surface effect elements with same extra node are used in series as shown. The location of the extra node is not important, as long as it is shared by the surface effect elements. Define Hf as twice the value used with LINK34s since there are really two contact resistances in series.

• This is similar to the procedure used to simulate convection between surfaces and a fluid in a small channel (described in the next section). The difference is that the extra nodes would also be used to define thermal-fluid elements.

• This element models one-dimensional thermal and flow effects but it can be employed in models with 2-D or 3-D solid elements. By default, this element has two degrees of freedom per node, pressure and temperature, and can be used in steady-state and/or transient analysis.

• In most applications, FLUID116 is used to include mass transport of heat and convection effects in 2-D and 3-D models without employing complex, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models.

• Temperature and flow distributions are 1-D (i.e., along the I-J axis).

• Users can specify the fluid flow rate (via SFE command with HFLUX label) and avoid the nonlinear flow calculations or supply the fluid conductance (or sufficient information for the program to calculate the fluid conductance). The program can then calculate the pressure and flow distribution via fluid network equations based on Bernoulli’s equation.

• Thermal effects include:– conduction along the length– mass transport of heat– internal heat generation (user specified or calculated viscous

heating)– convection via optional nodes (K,L) or by using the FLUID116

nodes as the extra node on surface effect elements.

1-D Thermal/Flow Element - FLUID116 (continued)

• Consider the following when using the FLUID116:– Whenever mass transport of heat effects are included, the

thermal conductivity matrix is nonsymmetrical and hence more computational resources are needed for solutions.

– In Bernoulli’s equation, the pressure drop (Pi - Pj) is not linearly related to the flow (w) and hence a nonlinear flow solution is done if the program is calculating the flow rate. The flow calculation can be bypassed by supplying the flow rate (via SFE command) and using the keyoption for temperature DOF only.

– In a transient analysis, the fluid flow reacts instantaneously. Quasistatic compressibility effects can be included via an Ideal Gas Law assumption within the fluid.

– The energy change due to mass transport is lumped at the outlet node of the element (fluid exit node).

• In most thermal analyses, units for density are not critical. However, units for the product of density and specific heat are critical.

• When FLUID116 elements are included in a model, units for density and flow rate are critical and should be on the basis of mass. The use of such units also ensures compatibility if a structural analysis is done using this database.

• Convert input velocity by defining scalar parameters as follows:– flow=QAV=62.4*(pi*Ri**2)*10*3600 ! In lbm/hr– massflow=flow/GC

• Define the real constant set for the FLUID116 elements:– hydraulic diameter (not needed)– flow area (will be used as the heat conduction area)– number of channels (one in this case)

• Define material properties brass and water.

• Define two lines down the center of the tube which share a common keypoint. These lines will be meshed with FLUID116 elements.– The first line should be 1’ long– The second line should be one element (0.083/12)’

long.

• The line direction is important since the element coordinate system will be determined by the line direction; a positive mass flow will be assumed to be in the direction of the line.

NOTE: Since mass transport of heat effects are attributed to exit node of FLUID116 elements, the short line at the outlet is needed to accurately measure temperature drop through first complete foot length of pipe.

• Define rectangular area that has dimensions 1’ x (0.083/12)’ for the tube cross-section. Make sure it is offset (0.0625/12)’ from tube center line.

• Assign attributes to the lines where fluid elements will be used and attributes for the tube area where solids will be used.

• Set global element size control (ESIZE) to be equal to tube wall thickness of (0.083/12)’.

• Mesh lines with flow elements.

• Mesh the rectangular area with solid elements.
