Description
Description
This product is validation of simulating a wall trombe based on the paper “The thermal performances of a solar wall “by ANSYS Fluent software.
A passive solar architectural element known as a trombe wall, is a thick, black-painted wall that faces south (or north, depending on the hemisphere) and is composed of a heat-absorbing material like stone or concrete. Glass or clear plastic coverings are placed a few inches apart from the wall. Solar energy is captured and stored in part by this arrangement.
The Trombe wall operates on the basic principles of solar energy heat transfer: absorption, conduction, and convection.
The 2-D geometry of this project is drawn in Design Modeler and meshed in ANSYS Meshing producing 26,550 structured elements.
Methodology
This simulation is done transiently by considering y direction gravity. As the absorber is exposed to a volumetric heat flux, we defined a heat source in the cell zone condition for absorber domain using UDF. The heat flux is defined in the following:
source heat flux = 55000*sin(3.14159265*time/36000)
The time step size is 1[s] and the number of time step is 86,400.
Conclusion
As shown in the figure below, the temperature of the absorber obtained from the simulation is compared with the numerical results of Mr. Hami et al. As can be seen in this figure, there is a good accuracy between the results, of course, in the areas before the temperature peak, the results are almost identical, and after the temperature peak, there is a slight difference between the results. The biggest difference in the temperature of the absorber after 13 hours from the start of the simulation was 1.2%, which can be said to be insignificant and acceptable.
Also the contours of temperature and velocity are presented in the 6, 12 and 18 hours from the beginning of the simulation.

Absolutely fascinating! I was particularly impressed with how closely your simulation results matched the data from the Hami other’s research paper. Even with complex processes like heat absorption, conduction, and convection, the preciseness is impeccable. The 1.2% deviation after 13 hours is a testament to the fidelity of your model. What sort of real-world applications could benefit from this level of precision in a Trombe Wall simulation?
MR CFD Support –
Thank you for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that you appreciate the accuracy of our Trombe Wall CFD simulation. This level of precision is particularly beneficial in the fields of architecture and sustainable design. It allows builders, engineers, and designers to optimize passive solar heating structures like the Trombe Wall for efficient thermal regulation in buildings. Understanding the thermal dynamics with this level of detail can help enhance energy conservation and reduce dependency on artificial heating and cooling systems, making it an invaluable tool for green building practices and ecological conservation efforts.

The Trombe Wall simulation is exceptional! The detailed validation against the paper’s results is impressive, and the slight variations are well within an acceptable range. The ability to visualize temperature changes over time through the 6, 12, and 18-hour interval contours was highly insightful for understanding the wall’s thermal dynamics. Great job!

Miss Hortense Weissnat IV –
Would the accuracy of our Trombe wall simulation be different if we adapt it for 3D analysis?
MR CFD Support –
No, the accuracy wouldn’t necessarily be different. The core principles of absorption, conduction, and convection in a Trombe wall would be effectively captured in both 2D and 3D simulations. However, a 3D simulation could incorporate more complex variables and potentially offer a more comprehensive view of the trombe wall performance across three dimensions.
