Numerical mesh generation tool for thermal conductivity simulations of nanoparticle filled inorganic plates

Abstract: Since regulations on insulation building materials become more stringent, particular interest is growing in thermal low conductive composite building materials. By adding very expensive, low thermal conductive nanoparticles in widely used inorganic solid materials, a new high performance building material can be developed. To sufficiently balance the production cost and the use of the nanofillers, an automatic tool, PreCon, was developed to provide sufficient process information and to generate a general purpo… Show more

“…The main characteristics of the proposed unit cell structures in this work, which are based on foams, are used to set-up a tetrahedral element mesh for use in finite element simulations. However, it has been concluded previously that the prediction of the thermal conductivity of silica aerogels based on a simple cubic unit cell model could already be reliable and moreover required limited computational resources compared to the approaches listed above [2]. The results, on the other hand, were only valid for high densities (ρ > 150 kg.m -³) because of the pore size distribution effect which indicates the presence of randomly distributed larger, is of minor importance.…”
