A Systematic Methodology to Develop Scaling Laws for Thermal Features of Temperature Field Induced by a Moving Heat Source
DownloadSpring 2021
A systematic methodology is developed to formulate scaling laws in closed-form for thermal features of moving line heat source and Gaussian heat source problems, with wide generality, high accuracy and practical simplicity, from fundamental principles. The expressions are written in form of a...
