Coupling CFD and structural analysis problems usually leads to complicated and computationally quite heavy models This is due to coupling of the equations of continuum mechanics and fluid dynamics which especially in 3D cases occur to be very complex The improved cooling modeling that is to be presented here reduces this 3D fluid flow into 1D flow which is still capable of acting in a 3D environment Cooling Circuit Modeling, Riku Raatikainen, Introduction to improved cooling circuit modeling

In this case calculations were done to one of the SAS which was analyzed earlier by using 3D CFD Instead of applying a 3D fluid flow directly into the cooling channel, a separate wiring model was created which transports the fluid inside the structure Cooling Circuit Modeling, Riku Raatikainen, Improved cooling circuit model

The design parameters are the same as above but the diameter of the channel is now 6 mm instead of 7 mm. Hence, the flow is more turbulent. Both thermal and structural analysis is performed.

Cooling Circuit Modeling, Riku Raatikainen, Flow was considered to be continuous, fully developed and turbulent. Friction factor was calculated by using the implicit Colebrook-White equation for smooth pipes, f ≈ Element reduces the pipe into a straight pipe. Minor losses in the elbows was taken into account as a equivalent length. Pressure loss Total pressure drop ≈ 101,34 mbars (ansys) ≈ 100,53 mbars (hand calc.)
The 1D fluid elements are capable of working efficiently also in more complex geometries For more even thermal distribution, a smaller mass flow rate can be used for loaded case Moreover, different kinds of support boundary conditions can be used to adjust the displacement field Pressure loss can minimized by using larger radius tubes and bendings, if needed Cooling Circuit Modeling, Riku Raatikainen, Conclusions
