Numerical simulation of the heat-relief capacity of an axisymmetric body in a gas flow

Abstract

The paper describes a computational experiment and presents the results of numerical modeling of an axisymmetric body with an optimized shape with a minimum aerodynamic drag force as a heat sink in a convective gas flow. The resulting optimized body shape coincides with streamlines, which is the main advantage, since no separation of the flow from the surface is observed in the flow around. Thus, the entire surface area will be the effective surface area of the heat sink, unlike other known body shapes, due to which the temperature of the heat-loaded element placed in the center of the heat sink will decrease.
