A comparative analysis of thermal models in the lattice Boltzmann method(LBM) for the simulation of laminar natural convection in a square cavity is presented. A HYBRID method, in which the thermal equation is solved by the Navier-Stokes equation method while the mass and momentum conservation are resolved by the lattice Boltzmann method, is introduced and its merits are explained. All the governing equations are discretized on a cell-centered, non-uniform grid using the finite-volume method. The convection terms are treated by a second-order central-difference scheme with a deferred correction method to ensure stability of the solutions. The HYBRID method and the double-population method are applied to the simulation of natural convection in a square cavity and the predicted results are compared with the benchmark solutions given in the literatures. The predicted results are also compared with those by the conventional Navier-Stokes equation method. In general, the present HYBRID method is as accurate as the Navier-Stokes equation method and the double-population method. The HYBRID method shows better convergence and stability than the double-population method. These observations indicate that this HYBRID method is an efficient and economic method for the simulation of incompressible fluid flow and heat transfer problem with the LBM.

A pin fin with variable fin base thickness is analysed by using the one dimensional analytic method. Heat loss and fin thermal resistance are presented as a function of the fin base thickness, pin fin outer radius and convection characteristic numbers ratio. The relationship between the fin outer radius and fin base thickness for the same amount of heat loss is shown. One of the results indicates the fin thermal resistance decreases as the fin outer radius and/or convection characteristic numbers ratio increase whereas the fin thermal resistance is independent on the variation of fin base thickness.

Many works on the temperature distribution of power apparatus have usually done by coupled magneto-thermal analysis. Such a method can not consider the internal gas or oil flow in the power apparatus such as gas insulated switchgear, GIS bus bar, and power transformer. Moreover it can not show the internal temperature distribution of the power apparatus exactly. This paper proposes a coupled magneto-thermal-flow analysis considering Navier-Stokes equations. The convection heat transfer coefficient is calculated analytically by applying Nusselt number for natural convection and is applied to the boundary condition of proposed method. Temperature distribution of the GIS bus bar model considering thermal flow is obtained by the proposed method and shows good agreement with the experimental data.

Confined natural convection due to lateral temperature difference in rectangular enclosures was studied numerically and experimentally for the insulated and the constant temperature enclosures. In the case of insulated enclosure, the flow pattern and heat transfer modes are rather simple depending mainly upon Rayleigh number. In the case of isothermal enclosure, however, the phenomena of flow and heat transfer are somewhat complex and interesting due to the stable thermal gradients and various circumstances resulted from four wall temperature conditions. As a dimensionless variable, to describe properly the flow and heat transfer phenomena in the isothermal enclosure, temperature difference ratio ${\Delta}T_v/{\Delta}T_H$ is newly introduced and this parameter seems to be appropriate in the analysis of results on the effect of stabilizing thermal gradient.

Two-dimensional steady laminar natural convection around a heat conducting and generating solid body inside a square enclosure with different thermal boundaries is performed. The mathematical model is governed by the coupled equation of mass, momentum and energy. These equations are discretized by finite volume method with power-law scheme and solved numerically by SIMPLE algorithm with under-relaxation technique. Effect of Rayleigh number, temperature difference ratio of solid-fluid, aspect ratio of solid-enclosure and the thermal conductivity ratio of solid-fluid are investigated numerically for Pr = 0.7. The flow and heat transfer aspects are demonstrated in the form of streamlines and isotherms respectively.

이 연구에서는 외기와의 열전달을 나타내는 외기대류계수에 관한 실험을 실시하였다. 외기대류계수에 관한 기존의 모델에서 나타났던 문제점을 해결하기 위해 실험 변수로 풍속외에 양생 조건의 종류(양생포, 양생포+비닐), 외기온도, 비등효과를 선정하였다. 실험 결과를 이용하여 외기대류계수를 산정하고자 열평형 방정식을 이용한 수치해법을 사용하였으며, 이론적인 고찰을 통해 각 양생 조건별로 풍속에 따른 외기대류계수의 변화를 예측할 수 있는 모델식을 제안하였다. 열평형 방정식을 이용한 수치해법에서 초기에 외기대류계수가 과잉평가되는 문제점을 해결하기 위해 비등효과에 의한 증발량을 고려하여 수정 열평형 방정식을 제안하였다. 양생 조건을 고려한 제안된 모델식에 의하면, 모든 경우에 풍속에 따라 외기대류계수가 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 양생 재료의 사용여부나 양생 조건에 따라 다른 양상을 보이는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 양상의 차이는 양생 재료의 열 특성에 의해 결정되는 것으로 외기대류계수는 양생 재료가 없는 경우, 양생포를 사용한 경우, 양생포+비닐을 사용한 경우의 순으로 풍속의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 제안된 모델식을 이용하면 수화열에 의한 콘크리트 구조물의 온도해석시 보다 정확한 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 사료되며, 향후 이러한 열특성계수에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The present study numerically investigates the natural convection heat transfer in a 2-D square cavity containing a centered heat conducting body. Special emphasis is given to the influences of the Rayleigh number, the dimensionless conducting body size, and the ratio of the thermal diffusivity of the body to that of the fluid on the natural convection heat transfer in overall concerned region. The analysis reveals that the fluid flow and heat transfer processes are governed by all of them. Results for isotherms, vector plots and wall Nusselt numbers are reported for Pr = 0.71 and relatively wide ranges of the other parameters. Heat transfer across the cavity, in comparison to that in the absence of a body, are enhanced (reduced) in general by a body with a thermal diffusivity ratio less (greater) than unity. It is also found that the heat transfer attains a minimum as the body size is increased with a thermal diffusivity ratio greater than unity.

Heat flow characteristics in the newly developed Wave Heat Sink were analyzed under natural and forced convections by Icepak program using the finite volume method. Temperature distribution and thermal resistance of Wave Heat Sink with/without air vent hole on the top of fin were compared with those of a commercial Al extruded heat sink(Intel Heat Sink). Under the natural convection, the maximum temperature was $45.1^{\circ}C$ in the air vent hole typed Wave Heat Sink, which was superior to that of Intel Heat Sink. The thermal resistance was $2.51^{\circ}C/W$ in the air vent hole typed Wave Heat Sink, and it changed to $2.65^{\circ}C/W\;and\;2.16^{\circ}C/W$ with changes of gravity direction and fin height, respectively. Under the forced convection, the maximum temperature became lower than that under the natural convection. In addition, the thermal resistance lowered in the air vent hole typed Wave Heat Sink with higher fin height and it decreased with increasing the air flux.

Thermal design is required with considering thermal stability to verify the reliability of electric power device with using IGBT. Numerical analysis is performed to analyzed the change in thermal resistance with respect to the various thermal density of heating element. Correlations between thermal resistance and heat generation density are established. With using these correlations, performance curve is composed with respect to the change in thermal resistance of cooling conditions for natural convection and forced convection. Thermal fatigue is occurred at the Inside and outside of IGBT by repeated heat load. The crack is occurred between base plate and ceramic substrate for the inside. When the crack length is 4mm, the failure is occurred. Therefore, Thermal design method considering thermal density, thermal fatigue resistance is presented on this study and it is expected to thermal design with considering life prediction.
