Notes:
A simple but versatile numerical technique using generalized finite difference discretization has been developed for heat transfer problems involving high convective heat flow, irregular geometry and high local thermal gradients. Upwind differencing is utilized to stabilize the numerical oscillations often induced in convection-dominated heat transfer problems. An arbitrary irregular mesh scheme is adopted to treat the irregular geometry and to achieve high accuracy in zones having high thermal gradients. To demonstrate the validity of the formulation procedure, results predicted from the present scheme are compared with the analytical solution for a problem having a regular boundary. Application to a typical metal-forming process having curved boundaries is then included.
