The housing of totally enclosed fan-cooled electrical machines is usually finned to maximize the heat dissipation over its surface. Complex models involving heat and fluid flow simultaneously are necessary to evaluate a single design. An optimization over a wide parameter range is, therefore, not possible. In this paper, a novel approach on how to model this particular conjugate heat transfer problem...
