✦ Synopsis
In order to improve thermal endurance, mechanical durability and ventilation performance in an automotive headlamp, it is important to understand heat transfer and #ow. In the present study, a newly-developed method called surface heat transfer (SHT) method, a unique technique for making an accurate estimate of temperature and velocity in the automotive headlamp without involving the use of #uid mechanics and structural mechanics, was investigated for practical use. An evaluation of SHT method was performed, and CFD results were compared with the experimental results.
