Geometrical Optimisation of Diode-Based Calorimetric Thermal Flow Sensors through Multiphysics Finite Element Modelling

For the first time, 3D multiphysics finite element modelling has been used to optimise the geometry of a calorimetric thermal flow sensor. The model involves and couples three physics domains: electric, thermal and fluid mechanics. The model is validated against experimental data obtained from a the...
