Advanced convective heat transfer in turbulent flows

M-Star founder John Thomas discusses advanced convective heat transfer in turbulent flows. This webinar is a longer form addition to a talk given at the AICHE Meeting in San Diego 2024. This work introduces a generalized, first-principles approach to predict convective heat transfer coefficients in turbulent systems using large eddy simulation combined with high-resolution lattice-Boltzmann methods (LBM). Moving beyond traditional empirical correlations, this approach directly connects local heat transfer rates to energy dissipation rates near boundaries, offering system-independent predictions.
