Design support system for a heat convection field

摘要

Provides a general-purpose, highly convenient design support method and design support system for a heat convection field or a mass diffusion field which significantly reduce the number of times of numerical simulation required to examine the designing parameters for achieving the design purpose. The design support method comprises forward analysis step S3 of analyzing the heat convection field or the mass diffusion field by solving an equation of the heat convection field or the mass diffusion field based on an initially set value of a designing parameter; inverse analysis step S6 of analyzing a sensitivity defined by a change ratio of the design purpose to a designing parameter change by solving an adjoint equation corresponding to the design purpose based on the set design purpose; and sensitivity display step S7 of displaying information on the sensitivity analyzed by inverse analysis step S6 as a graphic image on the display device.
