Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) Simulation

Analyze Coupled Heat Transfer Between Solids and Fluids

Many engineering systems involve simultaneous heat transfer through solid components and the surrounding fluid. For example, heat generated by an electronic chip is conducted through the heat sink and then removed by airflow, while a heat exchanger transfers heat through solid walls into a flowing liquid. Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) Simulation enables engineers to evaluate these coupled thermal interactions before manufacturing or product validation.

At Experiqs, we perform Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) Simulations to analyze the combined effects of conduction in solids and convection within fluids under realistic operating conditions. These simulations help engineers optimize cooling performance, improve thermal management, and validate engineering designs across industries where efficient heat dissipation is critical.

Why Conjugate Heat Transfer Simulation Matters

Many thermal systems cannot be accurately analyzed by studying solids or fluids independently. The interaction between both domains determines temperature distribution, cooling effectiveness, thermal efficiency, and product reliability. Simplified thermal analyses may overlook these interactions, leading to inaccurate predictions and suboptimal designs.

Conjugate Heat Transfer Simulation enables engineers to evaluate the complete thermal behaviour of a system by simultaneously analyzing heat conduction through solid materials and convective heat transfer within surrounding fluids. This provides a more realistic representation of operating conditions while reducing the need for repeated prototype testing.
