Dear Researchers,
I am working on simulating shell and tube heat exchangers using ANSYS Fluent. I have the huge number of tubes and it is not recommended to model it. Therefore, I am trying with alternative approaches like porous medium and heat exchanger models.
*In the porous medium approach, the non-equilibrium thermal model is recommended for heat exchanger type of problems.
*In heat exchanger model, dual cell method is used to simulate shell side and tube side flow and heat transfer.
I request you guys to help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance.
There are detailed examples in the ANSYS tutorials for this.
Your next source of help should be the ANSYS tech support.
