A one dimensional thermomechanical model for a Negative Thermal Expansion material (NTE) wire was developed. The model uses a first order approximation, based on a finite difference method, to account for thermal expansion of a wire using experimentally obtained characterization data to define the material properties. The model was coupled to a three dimensional fluid solver in order to model the...
