FEM verification of natural convection loop model

We compare the analytical results for a natural convection loop model with two-dimensional finite element method (FEM) simulations. We set the values for FEM simulations parameters to reflect oil circulation in a distribution transformer. We find that the calculated characteristics for the two appro...

Zusammenfassung:We compare the analytical results for a natural convection loop model with two-dimensional finite element method (FEM) simulations. We set the values for FEM simulations parameters to reflect oil circulation in a distribution transformer. We find that the calculated characteristics for the two approaches differ by less than 3%. This discrepancy is explained in terms of the variations in the fluid velocity profile.
