Type of monograph: Book

Summary

This paper presents the fundamentals and the application of the finite elements method within the framework of the resolution of industrial heat problems. It introduces the finite elements method from conduction in steady-state and then extends it to the transient state, to the most common non-linearities and to transport phenomena. Different types of coupling are then presented: by boundary conditions, the addition of state variables (thermometallurgy), by partial derivative equations (electrothermal technology). This study looks at the different heat phenomena that an engineer may have to simulate. The methods presented will allow the reader to use a digital simulation programme more efficiently, and also to design new calculation methods. Excerpt from the table of contents: steady-state conduction (formulation of the problem; finite elements method, isoparametric finite elements); transient state, non-linearities, transport phenomena (transient state conduction; non linearities; transport phenomena); coupled phenomena (radiative transfer in an enclosure; fluid-structure coupling in a pipe; thermometallurgical coupling; electrothermal coupling).
