A double distribution function model with the Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook (BGK) collision model is employed with the first distribution function representing the density and velocity fields, and the second distribution function determining the total energy. To incorporate the IB force and the heat source/sink, the external forcing term and an extra source term are introduced to the kinetic model. The IB forcing term only contributes to the leading order of the momentum and energy equation. By proper design, the source term plays a dual role, it includes the IB source/sink in the energy equation, and it allows an arbitrary Prandtl number by adjusting the heat flux term, demonstrating a great flexibility of mesoscopic methods particularly in treating thermal coupling. This IB-DUGKS enables the simulation of NOB natural convection flows, governed by the fully compressible Navier–Stokes–Fourier system. Simulations of natural convection between the outer square cavity and inner hot cylinders are performed to investigate the NOB effect. Both OB and NOB flows can be considered with the current scheme by selecting different relative temperature differences. The numerical results are in excellent agreement with the literature results, indicating that the current IB-DUGKS is accurate and robust for NOB thermal flow simulations. Finally, the NOB effects are demonstrated using the temperature field, velocity field, and overall heat transfer by contrasting the NOB solutions with the corresponding OB solutions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":336,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer","volume":"247 ","pages":"Article 127100"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143869475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modeling convection has given rise to the development of turbulence theory and energetic analysis for multi-physics systems. However, most of previous works have been limited to relatively simple thermal convection phenomena driven by solely buoyancy force. In this work, we formulate the energetic relation of the turbulent electro-thermo-hydrodynamic (ETHD) convection and develop a two-dimensional (2D) spectral solver for numerical analysis of ETHD turbulence for a variety of driving parameters (forces). From the numerical analysis, we find a modified scaling behavior of heat transfer by the electric force, and discover a new scaling behavior of the portion of kinetic energy contributed by buoyancy force as a function of a dimensionless forcing ratio. Finally, we show that the energy budget in the boundary layer of the 2D ETHD turbulence follows the scaling law previously found for the traditional 2D Rayleigh–Bénard Convection.

A novel numerical model was employed to explore the mechanisms behind collapse defects. To quantitatively assess weld quality, the degrees of \"underfill\" and \"sagging\" were evaluated based on national standards, and various weld formations were categorized accordingly. The results indicated that welding with a large spot size of 937.5 μm rarely produced a well-formed weld. In contrast, using a smaller spot size of 600 μm created a partial process window, where the laser power threshold for \"full penetration leads to collapse\" decreased from 25,000 W to 20,000 W. High-speed imaging and numerical simulations further revealed two critical factors necessary for achieving high-quality weld formation. First, the mass of molten material lost as spatter and droplets must remain minimal. Second, a well-defined backflow channel must be established, ensuring the upward movement of molten material under the influence of the Marangoni effect.

Among contact methods, the transient plane source (TPS) method (ISO 22007-2:2022) is widely used for its efficiency and versatility, particularly for bulk solid samples. However, we reveal that for high-<em>λ</em> materials (<em>λ</em> > 30 W/(m·K)), TPS measurements can suffer from significant systematic errors—up to 97%—due to the limitations of traditional analytical models and fitting methods in addressing sensor/sample interface thermal resistance (<em>R<sub>c</sub></em>) and heat conduction within the sensor.

This study addresses these challenges by: (1) developing two novel analytical models, termed realistic sensor model (RSM) and multilayer model (MLM), that account for heat transfer within the sensor and the <em>R</em><sub>c</sub> effect, both of which are neglected in the traditional model but crucial in the TPS study of high-<em>λ</em> materials; (2) proposing an innovative temperature derivative-based analysis approach using nonlinear regression (NR) to effectively suppress the influence of the <em>R</em><sub>c</sub> and the sensor geometry, which outperforms the conventional iterative linear regression of the raw temperature data; and (3) systematically analyzing the sensitivities of key parameters in different analytical and numerical models as well as parameter relationships via singular value decomposition (SVD) of the sensitivity matrix, providing deeper insights into the selection of the optimal time interval for fitting sample <em>λ</em> and <em>C</em>.</div><div>To reveal the limitations of traditional models and regression while evaluating our new analytical models and fitting methods, a reliable 3D finite element model (FEM) that replicates the actual TPS sensor with bifillar spiral heater was developed .

In this study, the relationship of process parameter, heat-mass transfer behaviors and joint strength is comprehensively investigated by the combination method of experimental tests, machine learning and numerical analysis. Contrary to the traditional understanding, the optimal joint strength appears at low rotation rate (600 rpm) and high welding speed (90 mm/min). The developed ensemble machine learning model (gradient boosting regression + gaussian process regression) quantitatively maps process parameter - joint strength relationship. The joint strength can be effectively improved by properly decreasing the rotation rate and increasing the welding speed within the process window. Numerical analysis reveals the heat and mass transfer mechanisms. Compared with the process parameter of 1000 rpm - 60 mm/min, when the process parameters is 600 rpm - 90 mm/min, the welding temperature decreases by about 35 K and the material flow velocity decreases by about 50 mm/s. It is helpful to form smaller hook, cold lap and thinner intermetallic compounds (IMCs), which is beneficial to improve the lap joint strength. The findings show that although the increase of rotation rate can enhance the mixing of materials, excessive rotation will aggravate the materials diffusion.
