This is a comparison of calculations performed with a scheme for handling streamwise-periodic boundary conditions with known solutions to the common problem of fully developed heat transfer in a plane duct. Constant value, constant flux, mixed boundary conditions, and linear wall flux (conjugate heat transfer) are all considered. Agreement is, in every case, near exact showing that the methodology may be applied with confidence to complex engineering problems with a variety of thermal wall boundary conditions.

We describe the implementation of a general interpolation technique which allows the accurate imposition of the Dirichlet, Neumann and mixed boundary conditions on complex geometries when using the immersed boundary technique on Cartesian grids. The scheme is general in that it does not involve any special treatment to handle either one of the three types of boundary conditions. The accuracy of the interpolation algorithm on the boundary is assessed using three heat transfer problems: (1) forced convection over a cylinder placed in an unbounded flow, (2) natural convection on a cylinder placed inside a cavity, and (3) heat diffusion inside an annulus. The results show that the accuracy of the scheme is second order and are in agreement with analytical and/or numerical data.
