We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

dear Rob, thank you for your reply.

as I know the mesh interfaces appear when there are interfaces between domains and this will lead to conjugated heat transfer. However, I made all bodies as one part in the design modeler and made share topology for that part. So, I suppose that I have conjugated heat transfer.

Air properties are defined by Ansys fluent, I didn’t make any changes.

I have one value of heat flux which is applied on the top surface of absorber domain.

the temperature contour for all domains at a plane located at the inlet and outlet is the same (i.e. there  are no differences between the two contours):

 

the temperature contour at a plane located nearly in the center of the air domain:
