A Study on the temperature Distributions at the Vicinity of a Very Fast Moving Heat Source

매우 빠르게 움직이는 열원 주위의 온도분포에 관한 연구

Fourier heat conduction law becomes invalid for the situations involving extremely short time heating, very low temperatures and fast moving heat source(or crack), since the wave nature of heat propagation becomes dominant. For these conditions, the modified heat conduction equation with the finite propagation speed of heat in the medium could be applied to predict heat flux and temperature distributions. In this study, temperature distributions at the vicinity of a very fast moving heat source are investigated numerically. Thermal fields are characterized by thermal Mach numbers(M) defined as the ratio of moving heat source speed to heat propagation speed in the solid. In the transonic and supersonic ranges($M{\ge}1$), thermal shocks are shown, which separate the heat affected zone from the thermally undisturbed zone.
