4. Integration with PHOENICS Create a coupled fluid/solid mesh (e.g. with FEMSYS) Solve for steady state fluid/gas flow equations PHOENICS Read in fluid FE mesh with boundary conditions (b.c.) Read in run parameters and material properties Calculate view factors for radiative heat transfer For each time step –Calculate F from equation (5) –Solve matrix equation (4) * –Update temperature, T n+1 * The thermal conduction equation (1) is modified to include velocities for the gas/fluid

4. Conclusions and future work A finite element solver of radiative and conductive heat transfer has been created The solver is accurate when compared to other numerical and experimental results The solver is suitable for application to geometry of varying complexity Fluid flow will be incorporated by the end of this year in the form of flow fields from Phoenics
