1. Reference problem#

1.1. Geometry#

The structure studied is a slice of a cylinder, modelled axisymmetrically, (cf HPLA100)

1.2. Material properties#

The material is homogeneous, isotropic, and linear thermoelastic. The mechanical coefficients are

\(E\mathrm{=}{2.10}^{5}M\mathrm{/}{\mathit{mm}}^{2}\); \(\nu \mathrm{=}0.3\)

The expansion coefficient is a function of temperature:

\(\alpha \mathrm{=}{10}^{\mathrm{-}5}°{C}^{\mathrm{-}1}\) for \(T\mathrm{=}100°C\), \(\alpha \mathrm{=}{10}^{\mathrm{-}4}°{C}^{\mathrm{-}1}\) for \(T\mathrm{=}0°C\)

The reference temperature is \(0°C\). The thermal coefficients are equal to:

\(\lambda \mathrm{=}1W\mathrm{/}mK\), \(\rho {C}_{p}\mathrm{=}1000\mathit{MJ}\mathrm{/}{m}^{3}K\)

1.3. Boundary conditions and thermal calculation loads#

On its inner edge, the cylinder is subjected to an exchange with a fluid that changes abruptly from \(100°C\) to \(0°C\):

  • zero flow at the edges \(\mathit{AB}\), \(\mathit{BC}\), \(\mathit{CD}\)

  • on edge \(\mathit{AD}\), convective exchange condition, with:

\(H\mathrm{=}100W\mathrm{/}{\mathit{mm}}^{2}\mathrm{/}°C\)

\(\mathit{Text}\mathrm{=}100°C\) to \(t\mathrm{=}\mathrm{0s}\), then \(0°C\) to \(t\mathrm{=}\mathrm{0.01s}\), and then kept constant.

1.4. Boundary conditions and loads for mechanical calculation#

Symmetry conditions

Unrestrained case: zero displacement following \(\mathit{Oy}\) along side \(\mathit{AB}\).

Blocked case: zero displacement following \(\mathit{Oy}\) along sides AB and \(\mathit{CD}\).

Loading: thermal expansion.
