simulation of transient heat transferin 2D free-form objects
Introduction
The Physibel program BISTRA allows simulations of transient heat transfer in 2D free-form objects.This slide show highlights
• how to solve a 2D transient problem using BISTRA (with RADCON option)
• useful application examples- ground heat losses and frost insulation- fire engineering – steel-concrete floor- fire engineering – window frame- harmonic analysis of walls- temperature of heated & unheated rooms- thermal effect of solar radiation on façades
Solving a 2D transient heat transfer problem using BISTRA
1. Problem definition The analysis of a fictitious problem shows the powerful performances of BISTRA.
Solving a 2D transient heat transfer problem using BISTRA
1. Problem definition Materials with non-linear thermal properties, phase change materials (PCM) and an argon filled gas layer bounded by a low emissivity surface occur.
Solving a 2D transient heat transfer problem using BISTRA
1. Problem definition The water temperature in the tubes rises and a heat is released at the PCM border. Non-linear convection and radiation occur.

BISTRA allows transient thermal simulations according to
EN ISO 13370Thermal performance of buildings - Heat transfer via the ground - Calculation methods
EN ISO 13793Thermal performance of buildings - Thermal design of foundations to avoid frost heave
BISTRA application example 1ground heat losses and frost insulation
BISTRA application example 2fire engineering – steel-concrete floor
BISTRA allows fire engineering simulations according to the
EUROCODES for structural calculations.
A fire curve (typically ISO 834) is assumed at one side of the construction.
The simulation of the heat transfer by radiation, convection and conduction
allows predicting the temperature evolution in the construction.
Temperature dependent material properties (steel, concrete, ...) are
considered.

BISTRA application example 6thermal effect of solar radiation on façades
For a south façade (double glazing, aluminium frame, opaque insulation panel) in Brussels the temperature distribution is calculated, taking into account the solar radiation transmitted through the glazing and absorbed in the façade.
… about 3D …
The Physibel program VOLTRA allows simulations of transient heat transfer in 3D objects described with rectangular blocks.VOLTRA has the same basic simulation performances as BISTRA.BISTRA data can be imported ! The bitmap pixels are treated as small rectangular blocks.
