Hello!
thanks in advance for any help you can throw my way!
I am in my masters year of an Acoustical Engineering course in the UK. We have been set a group design project to with essentially setting up a forced convection cycle in a room in order to redistribute the heat from a radiator and make it more efficient. To model this situation we are (trying) to use COMSOL multiphysics. At the moment we are trying to do it in 2D, with the aim of getting a 3D model in the future.
We have never used COMSOL before, or done anything to do with heat transfer so we're kinda stuck!
The model is very simple; a side view of a rectangular room, with a radiator on one side. We are having trouble making COMSOL create a convection current in the room.
Does anyone have any models that are similar that they could send me to have a look at please?
Secondly, does anyone know of any useful reading (textbooks, websites etc) that would cover this sort of situation? Most of the books in our library detail convection onto a wall etc but not within a room or cavity...
Thank you very much for any help!
Alex
