Many thermal problems can’t be solved accurately by looking at the solid or the fluid on its own. Heat generated inside a component conducts through its structure, crosses the surface into the surrounding fluid, and is then carried away by that fluid’s own flow and temperature behaviour, with each side continuously shaping the other. Solving these two sides separately and simply passing a boundary condition between them misses that interaction and often underestimates real hotspots.
At Experiqs, we perform Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) Simulations to solve solid conduction and fluid convection together, within a single coupled model, rather than estimating one side and assuming the other. These simulations capture the true two-way interaction at the solid-fluid interface: how surface temperature affects the fluid, and how the fluid’s flow and thermal behaviour affect the solid in return, across electronics cooling, heat exchangers, battery packs, engine components, and other systems where thermal and fluid behaviour can’t be separated.
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.
Our conjugate heat transfer simulation capabilities support the evaluation of coupled thermal behaviour across engineering products and industrial systems. These analyses help engineers investigate heat flow between solids and fluids, optimize cooling performance, improve thermal efficiency, and validate engineering designs before implementation.
Conjugate Heat Transfer Simulations are widely applied across electronics cooling, battery systems, heat exchangers, automotive powertrains, aerospace components, industrial equipment, HVAC systems, energy systems, medical devices, and consumer electronics where heat transfer between solids and fluids directly influences performance and reliability.
