Problem Description
A T-Junction model is subjected
to the mixing of two fluids of
differing temperatures
Warm Water
Release 14.5
Problem Description
Junction is also subjected to fluid pressure
The goal is to perform a Thermal and Static Structural Analysis on the
T-junction using the solution of the Conjugate Heat Transfer problem in
CFX
Outline of procedure:

We also want the fluid pressure to be applied to the ANSYS structural
model

Engineering Data
With the CFD model already completed, the thermal and structural analysis will be
carried out in sequence.
The solid material used in the CFX analysis was Steel from the CFX Materials
Library. The default material in ANSYS is Structural Steel. We need to make sure
the material properties are consistent.
