As computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations still take a lot of time in industry for design optimization analyses, we propose to reduce the number of required CFD simulations considerably using a new meta-algorithm. The algorithm consists of employing kriging in conjunction with simulated annealing (SA) as a design tool. The method enables effective and fast design optimization for complex fluid flow systems. In this paper, it is applied to a convective heat transfer problem in a channel with periodic heat sources with constant heat flux. We show that the geometry optimization of two dimensional thermo-fluids problems in complex geometries is made more effective and faster using kriging-simulated annealing meta-algorithm.

Abstract The paper considers the particular case of intensive radiation heat transfer in the system consisting of a human body and cryocabin walls of cryosauna. Calculations for three models have been made, namely, human-vertical wall, which is arranged parallel to a human, human-vertical wall, which is positioned at a certain angle, and a human-cryosauna. Analytical calculations are compared with Ansys-bassed numerical calculations. The impact of radiation heat transfer in this radiation-convective heat transfer problem is estimated. Conclusions are drawn about taking into account the radiation heat transfer and a rational method for calculating this heat transfer problem.

With the increase of mining depth, an investigation of the convective heat transfer of airflow in deep airway is urgently required. The velocity and temperature distribution were derived by using the turbulence model for smooth tube. In order to simplify calculation and avoid the complicated calculation of integration, with the help of velocity-temperature distribution analogy, the criterion equation of convective heat transfer was obtained by using the model of constant heat flux. The coefficient of convective heat transfer between airflow and airway was calculated, and criterion correlation of convective heat transfer was regressed according to test data. Test results show that the axial temperature distribution of airflow is linear, which is encouraging agreement with theoretical calculating results. Hence model of constant heat flux is a viable method for studying the convective heat transfer of airflow in deep airway.
