Abstract

This paper describes the development of a thermohydraulic radiator model. The setup of the hydraulic as well as the thermal model is explained. For the thermal calculations, a method to predict the air velocity as a function of fan characteristics and radiator geometry is established. The coupling of both models is explained as well. A large part of this paper has been dedicated to the validation of the radiator model. This shows the power of the new model and gives new insights into radiator-fan cooling.
