Finite element methods in heat transfer

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:10114567
The application of the finite element method to problems in conduction and convection heat transfer is described. The formulation of the basic equations is presented for nonisothermal, incompressible, viscous flows and nonisothermal flows in porous media; typical solution algorithms for both transient and time-independent problems are described. Example analyses are included for problems in heat conduction, forced convection and free convection.
