Malfunctioning of HT Module

I am not certain why this result is appearing before me. This is a simple HT case where we had provided the temperature at two boundary as 597 K and 297 K just to see the intermediate temperature profile and propagation of heat within time domain.

Here the result is quite surprising like, the temperature gone down below the lower temp ( 297 K) at the near boundary of the higher temperature.

Can Anyone explain this, why this is happening.

Rgrds,

Ishant jain

Hello,

Perhaps the problem is the discontinuity in initial conditions in T in one of the boundaries. Any (in space or time) discontinuity yields convergence problems easily. You could try a ramp function for the boundary conditon, like:
293.15[K]+300[K]*rm1(t/1[s]), where rm(t) has been defined as a ramp function, rising smoothly from 0 to 2 seconds, for instance.

A finer mesh in the 'problematic' boundary is also advised.

Bye,

Jesus.

Hi Ishant,

The problem is related to time steps and mesh size.

The finer meshing at the bounder layer works well.

I will request you to please give some detail about this ramp function.
