Heat Transfer Modeling in Two-Dimensional Porous Composite Structure with Polymer Matrix and Metal Particles Using the Virtual Element Method Under Laser Heating
摘要
In this study, the heat transfer modeling of a two-dimensional porous composite with a polymer matrix containing metal particles was simulated using the Virtual Element Method (VEM). The bed is composed of polymer, metal, and air meshes, and the heating process is modeled by simulating a laser radiation heat source penetrating the bed. Porosity in this simulation is represented by virtual meshes with the thermal properties of air. The simulation results demonstrate that the VEM approach allows virtual meshes with significantly different thermal properties to coexist within a single simulated bed while providing accurate and reliable results.
