Multiphase CFD-CHT optimization of the cooling jacket and FEM analysis of the engine head of a V6 diesel engine

► CFD-FEM heat transfer/fatigue-strength analyses of an internal combustion engine. ► Multi-domain CHT-CFD model covering both the coolant and the metal components. ► Detailed CFD modeling of the phase transition within the coolant galleries. ► Combined high-cycle and low-cycle fatigue analysis. ► Energetic criterion for low-cycle fatigue analysis of the combustion dome region.
