Heat flux measurement to validate CFD thermal simulations
Did you know that heat flux can be measured? The FHF series heat flux sensors is used to verify simulated heat flux. Heat transfer and thermal management of designs, devices and processes are often optimised using CFD simulation. The results are estimated temperatures and heat fluxes. Until now, only measurement of temperature is very common for validation purposes. The Hukseflux FHF series heat flux sensors offers the first really practical solution to add heat flux to your measurements. For example: they can serve to measure heat flux boundary conditions as input for your thermal simulation (e.g. Ansys, COMSOL, OpenFoam, SimScale, Abaqus, etc.) or they can be used as validation of calculations.
