  What type of cell zone conditions, boundary conditions can be given to a heat pipe with wick structure?

  Walls and fluid would be a good start. Maybe try reading up on the models in Fluent and explain what the physics is doing?

  Sir,I am confused about the capillary wick structure and the conditions at the solid liquid interface.

  Confused by the modelling or the physical heat sink?

  Thank you sir 1. About the modelling of capillary wick structure. 2. Phase change of fluid and return of the fluid to the evaporator from the condenser section.

  Right, do you plan on modelling the wick material precisely or using a porous media? Heat pipes are not simple systems to model so you're going to need to fully understand the multiphase models, phase change and how the wick interacts with these.

  Not sure what the question is - this is an old post, so please open up a new one in the fluids forum (this is for cad and 3d design). This one is closed now.
