DETAILS :
This case represents a table top electronic box / control box. It consists
of several heating components mounted on a printed circuit board with a
steel base plate and a plastic cover. Natural convection is the cooling
method with air passing through vents in the base, sides and top. Here,
z-direction is aligned with gravity. This time the flow is treated as laminar
and no radiation is included. The domain is enlarged so that the calculation
boundaries are far away from the box and their effects on the results can
be ignored.
Pictures are as follows :
