Abstract
The pipe cooling method is of use for control of thermal cracks in various massive concrete structures. This paper presents a new theoretical technique for solving the pipe cooling problems. The numerical computation is made by means of the modified Fluid in Cell (MFLIC) method which was developed for simulating energy equation with a large Peclet number. The experiment is done by using a large-sized rectangular concrete prism. Comparing theoretical results with experimental ones, the application technique of MFLIC method is confirmed. In addition, some characteristics of heat transfer at cooling pipe surface are theoretically clarified by the aid of computed results.
