Hello David,
You have 2 choices;
- you can add a gas domain where you couple fluid dynamic and heat transfert (difficult)
- or you can calculate Nusselts and Grashof numbers for estimate heat transfert coefficient h[W/(m^2
*K)] and applicate them on external boundaries (look for in litterature the right case for your study). In this case you don't need a representation of the fluid domain (easy to converge)
At least you must first start with a simple simulation
