Abstract
In this paper, numerical simulations of heat exchange between two fluids through a solid are performed using parallel finite element method. To estimate thermal interaction between fluid and solid, both the flow of thermal fluid and heat transfer in the solid must be considered. To analyze both regions of thermal fluid and solid simultaneously, the velocity in the governing equations is set too zero in the solid region. Almost all processes of the computation can be parallelized. By solving some examples, accuracy and efficiency of this method will be presented.
