HOW do you set the air convection?

[@seaneyo]

amen brother, I am having difficulty setting this up as shown... Especially with forced convection. I would like to add a CPU fan or equivalent for either an internal or external flow case, but struggling to set it since the only options are flow inlet and flow outlet. I am thinking of creating a cylinder where the fan would be, setting the "fan inlet" as a heatsink outlet, and the "fan outlet" as a system inlet, except I don't know how to define the temperatures, since my fan s in the middle of my heatsink so the "system inlet" temperature should be equal to the "system outlet" temperature which is affected by the heatsink. I really just want to define a planar surface as having a normal air velocity of X CFM where the CPU fan would be, or define a rotating impeller, which i don't think discovery is capable of to my knowledge.

this kind of thing is super new

what are the specifications of the Heatpipe material?

[@seaneyo]

model your heatpipe solid and set the thermal conductivity to 20e3 w/m*K; then adjust the 20k up or down so that the max. thermal gradient of the heatpipe is 5deg C. Real world heat pipes are 2-5deg C thermal difference so 5deg C is a conservative simulation, 2.5 deg would be more realistic but depends on the dimensions and orientation of your heatpipe. See a heatpipe configuration calculator from heatpipe manufacturers for more application specific considerations - the main design consideration would be the diameter of heat pipe required for your thermal load, otherwise a 20k thermal conductivity should address most ballpark simulation requirements depending on the required accuracy of your results

can Discovery live find Torque in a FSI?

[@johngraham78]

I think you'll need Discovery AIM for that.
