TPLA06 - Cylindrical bar with convection




Summary:


This test results from the validation independent of version 3 in linear stationary thermics.

It is about an axisymmetric problem 2D represented by two modelings, the first using of the elements
voluminal, the second of the axisymmetric elements 2D.
Boundary conditions in imposed temperature and of convection are taken into account.
The results resulting from this case test are compared with those provided by VPCS.

Summary of the results
The modeling A, carried out in 3D with linear meshs (PENTA15, HEXA8), gives
results whose four values (out of 22) exceed the tolerance fixed initially. The maximum change
obtained is 1.24% for a tolerance of 1%. This going beyond of the tolerance is observed for
values of the temperature close to 0.
By account modeling B, carried out in AXIS with linear meshs (TRIA3), gives
satisfactory results, the maximum change obtained is 0.25%.
Modeling AXIS is adapted to modelize this cylindrical bar than modeling
3D. Cutting circonférenciel in 3D is not enough dense to represent the cylinder, and one
finer cutting would improve the results.
The results obtained by modeling 3D are regarded as acceptable taking into account
mesh used.
The analytical solution which is an approached solution, supposes that the ratio R/L is much higher than
1. For this numerical test, the ratio R/L was taken equal to 100.
