Estimating Drag and Heat Transfer Coefficient of a Runner by Using Numerical Methods

Abstract

Gholamhossein Lari and Alireza Tahavvor

In this project, the drag coefficient of a runner and its heat transfer coefficient is calculated by modeling the runner and its networking in the Gambit and then analyzing and solving fluid flow around the model in the Fluent. The coefficient or coefficients are compared with the previous values obtained and the accuracy of the method performed in the calculation is determined. The above coefficients are calculated for six different velocities, and finally, a correlation is obtained for the coefficient of heat transfer of the runner and the numerical value for its drag coefficient.
