Introduction to the Special Issue on Advances in Modeling and Simulation of Complex Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow

摘要

Heat transfer and fluid flow are fundamental phenomena in nature and engineering.Modeling and simulation of heat transfer and fluid flow are significant for a wide range of scientific and industrial applications.Along with the development of computer industry and the advancement of numerical methods,significant progresses have been witnessed in modeling and simulation of heat transfer and fluid flow.Solid foundation in both hardware and software has been established to study the heat transfer and fluid flow processes because of its importance in reducing production costs,discovering new phenomena and developing new technologies,etc.However,the accurate modeling and efficient,robust simulation of complex heat transfer and fluid flow still remain challenging.And multi-disciplinary research effort has been a clear and general trend.To highlight the recent advances and challenges in numerical modeling,algorithm,and computation of complex heat transfer and fluid flow,the guest editors organized a special issue on“Advances in Modeling and Simulation of Complex Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow”within Computer Modeling in Engineering&Sciences.
