Development and evaluation of nine-noded quadratic control volume based finite element for heat conduction modelling
Abstract
Schneider and Zedan (1983) have proposed a control-volume-based finite element method for conduction heat transfer, taking into account a procedure which does not involve any intrinsic restrictions with respect to element shape or interpolation order. The study conducted by Schneider and Zedan has laid the basis for more extensive application of a control volume formulation of the finite element equations governing physical systems. The present investigation has the objective, starting from the previous work of Schneider and Zedan, to extend the control-volume-based finite element formulation for conduction heat transfer problems to the nine-noded, isoparametric, quadratic, quadrilateral finite element. This element has a greater flexibility in describing bodies having curved as well as straight boundary geometrics.
