Hello Romano,
I have looked at the studies at time slots, and from what I see the baffle HTE does not have an effect.
The same if HTE 0 , 0.5, or 1. HTE 0, means zero heat transfer, and that should been seen in result when changing.
Circuit heat flux is the same...
Tested with BEM method as well.
A bit unexcpeted to me and I think Autodesk tech support should shed som light over this.
General about modelling:
The baffle can have one curve since 2018.2
The construction of bubblers and baffles has been greatly simplified.
So you do not need V-shape as of :
Baffles
Baffles is ½D end point from drilling end point.
Have an idea, see:
Cool to improve Baffles and Bubblers ½D end point from drilling end point
(Kudos it if you agree.
)
The 3D baffle you modelled has higher pressure drop.
The overall diameter is 11.3, but half the area is a diameter of about 8.
The baffle beams has D 11.3.
The 3D baffle does not have drill shape in top. Affects flow around top.
The coolant of beams heats up more.
So the 3D baffle as modelled seems to be more efficient.
Hence the lower temperature.
I think the modelling should be aligned to baffle beams and basic rules first.
Then, align 3D baffle modell to get closer results.
Assume there will still be differences.
Hope this helps somewhat.

Berndt
