Abstract:
This research talks about the radiator cooling system of the automobile engine, the radiator's fluid-structure interaction dynamics based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) STAR-CCM+ software. The linear regression model of coolant determined by MATLAB software was imported into the user-defined field function of the software, using the standard K-Epsilon turbulence model to analyze temperature, pressure and velocity changes of the coolant in the radiator channel. In order to improve the efficiency of the radiator, it is necessary to analyze the structure of two kinds of heat sinks, and get better heat transfer effect.
