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.

Is computation of radiation possible within a multilayer shell wall in Fluent? E. g. for simulating a heat resistance.

      Imagine the case where a small air gap is in between two solid bodies, the solid bodies and the air gap are modeled as a multilayer shell conduction wall. The air gap acts as a heat resistance for the heat flow. In reality for high temperatures radiation through the air gap between the two solids might have a large impact on the transferred heat flow. This cannot be modelled using the multilayer shell conduction wall model. The air gap has to be modeled as a cell zone instead.
