4. Summary of results

The modeling gives a result that exceeds the tolerance set initially. The maximum difference obtained is 1.9%, compared to the tolerance of 1%.

In this test, the thermal gradients are greater near point B (imposed temperature and convection), a finer mesh in this zone would improve the quality of the results.

The results are considered to be acceptable considering the type of mesh (QUAD4) and the density of the mesh used

The interest of this test is its origin NAFEMS.
