This paper presents a thermal model describing heat transfer in multispan sandwich rectangular plates. The model is time-dependent and two-dimensional. Complex thermal phenomena occurring in light cores (honeycomb) and thermal contact resistance are taken into account in the model. Particular attention is paid to the boundary conditions on the faces of the plate: radiative and nonuniform convective exchange are taken into account. The global temperature solution for stationary cases is developed on trigonometric and exponential functions bases. The properties of the Laplace transform are used to solve time-dependent cases. Validation experiments are carried out in a wind tunnel ring for two-span plates submitted to convective exchanges on one face; the same configuration is reproduced for an aluminum sandwich plate in an industrial set-up bench. Experimental results agree well with the numerical simulation.

When solidification occurs with conduction controlling and small temperature differences present, quasi-steady models become advantageous. In this paper, the use of conduction shape factors to predict freezing rate and heat transfer in various two-dimensional objects is investigated. Simple equations for calculating these quantities are obtained, and compared to existing results. The use of shape factors to model solidification with time-dependent boundary conditions is illustrated.

The heat transfer boundary conditions used in the RELAP5-3D computer program have evolved over the years. Currently, RELAP5-3D has the following options for the heat transfer boundary conditions: (a) heat transfer correlation package option, (b) non-convective option (from radiation/conduction enclosure model or symmetry/insulated conditions), and (c) other options (setting the surface temperature to a volume fraction averaged fluid temperature of the boundary volume, obtaining the surface temperature from a control variable, obtaining the surface temperature from a time-dependent general table, obtaining the heat flux from a time-dependent general table, or obtaining heat transfer coefficients from either a time- or temperature-dependent general table). These options will be discussed, including the more recent ones.

Marangoni or thermocapillary convection in a two-dimensional cylindrical half zone configuration under microgravity is studied numerically. The time-dependent simulations take into account convection and conduction in the melt, heat transfer between the melt and the ambient, and deformations of the free melt/gas surface of the half zone. A modified Marker and Cell (MAC) method is used to compute the flow and the temperature fields. The algorithm is applied especially to silicon melts. Above a critical temperature difference in the melt, the steady state becomes unstable and oscillatory thermocapillary convection occurs. The relevant control parameter for the onset of oscillations is the Marangoni number. As the Marangoni number increases, the phenomenon of period doubling is observed in the simulations. After a sequence of period doubling bifurcations, the flow becomes turbulent.
