Abstract
The computation of steady coupled velocity and temperature fields can be done in two ways:
-
(a)
By computing in turn each field, i.e., by solving alternately the mechanical problem and the thermal problem. When approximate values of the nodal temperatures have been totally computed, they are used as input to solve the mechanical problem, and conversely.
-
(b)
By computing simultaneously both fields. This method will be considered later.
