Case of a transient thermal analysis with forced convection BC

[yvanblanchard]

Hello
Before exploring feasibility with PetSc library, I wanted to check first if Felupe lib (much more easier to use) would be able to model this case:
I have a rotated rubber roller (which is part of the example test cases here) but which was heated and then cooled by a forced convection (air cooling using a kind of torch duct). This it is a transient heat transfer analysis (with 2D model of roller section, using rubber material) and the fact that roller is moving also contributes to accelerate the cooling (only a side of roller is cooled by fixed/static duct device).
Is it possible to model ?
Thank you

Hi @yvanblanchard,

as you may have expected - unfortunately no. At least there are no high-level functions/classes. If you know your equations, you can implement them using the weak form expressions felupe.Form.

Thank you @adtzlr

Hello
I would like to know if a much easier test case could modelled with Felupe : hollowed cylinder with external flux and internal convection (cooling), using either 2D disk mesh or à rectangular shape mesh (wall section of cylinder) with axisymetric conditions.

thank you!
