Numerical investigation of a laminar flow in a tubular chain of a heated floor slab

Journal Title: Recueil de mécanique - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2

Abstract

The present work deals with a numerical study of a laminar flow in a tubular string of a floor slab based on a model of stabilization algorithms that of Gauss and Thomas. The transport equations for the motion amount and heat are the classical equations of forced convection. To describe the amount transfer of the movement in the heating slab pipe (fluid medium), we retained to the PRANDTL simplified model which takes into account the most important terms for a laminar flow in the pipeline. For this, a numerical resolution of the equations governing this flow has been carried out. These equations have been discretized by an implicit finite difference method. The algebraic equations systems thus obtained have been solved by the Gauss and Thomas algorithms. The numerical simulation results have highlighted the effect of the geometrical and thermal parameters of the pipe on the temperature evolution and the coolant velocity.
