Advanced Computational Methods in Heat Transfer

Heat conduction - transient conduction in a rotating cylindrical shell exposed to an incident time varying heat flux; natural/forced convection - laminar mixed convection flow in the entrance region of uniformly heated inclined circular tubes; phase change - correlation between grinding conditions and phase transformation of an alloy steel; casting, forming and welding processes - numerical simulation of temperature distribution and seam forming in a narrow gap welding; fire and combustion - a compuational approach to the combustion of pulverized Greek lignite in a power station combustor; turbulent heat transfer - the use of pressure loss as boundary condition of internal flows promoted by thermal buoyancy; coupled thermal/electrical or electromagnetic problems - coupling between thermal and electrodynamic models; heat transfer in porous media - a numerical scheme for natural convection in a porous medium; numerical and computational techniques - sensitivity analysis and optimization by the BEM for volume integral functionals.
