This paper focuses on the influence of the conjugative heat transfer in a regenerative cooling structure. With proper numerical modelling by both finite element method and computational fluid dynamic method, the distribution of the temperature in the solid and coolant, the interfacial heat flux, and the stress state and the deformation of this cooling structure are obtained. These results show that the thermal equilibrium of the cooling structure can be achieved in a given flow condition. The present numerical method has significant benefits to solve the heat transfer between engine coolant and solid components.
With the convective heat transfer theory, numerical analysis of fluid-solid-heat coupling is implemented for the engine combustion chamber cooling structure based on finite element method and computational fluid dynamic method, thus to obtain valuable simulation results. Different components of the mesh generation method used which have different influences on the computational results are thought over during this analysis process, including different grid type, grid density and boundary layer meshes. Moreover, MPI parallel technique is also used to resolve the computation demands. The temperature distributions of the key parts in the cooling structure are investigated, which can be used as a significant reference for the thermal protection design of the engine combustion chamber.
