TY - JOUR TI - Simulation of non-Fourier heat conduction in discontinuous heterogeneous materials based on the peridynamic method AU - Zhou Luming AU - Zhu Zhende AU - Que Xiangcheng JN - Thermal Science PY - 2023 VL - 27 IS - 1 SP - 917 EP - 931 PT - Article AB - Discontinuous heterogeneous materials, such as rocks and concrete, exhibit non-Fourier heat conduction. To predict this type of conduction behavior in discontinuous materials, a bond-based peridynamic heat conduction model based on the peridynamic theory was derived by introducing the dual-phase-lag model. The model was verified by the results obtained using other numerical methods. The Weibull distribution function was introduced to describe the heterogeneity in the thermal conductivity. The heat conduction in a plate with two pre-existing cracks under thermal shock was simulated. The effects of phase lag and heterogeneity were discussed. The results showed that the heat transfer rate is mainly controlled by the phase lag τq of the heat flux. When τq remains unchanged, the heat transfer rate increases with the increase in the phase lag τT of the temperature gradient. The influence of cracks on the temperature field is mainly reflected in the area near the crack end. Although the temperature in the local area may be positively correlated with τT in the short term, the long-term influence of the factor becomes increasingly weaker. The proposed method has a wide application prospect in simulating non-Fourier’s heat conduction in discontinuous heterogeneous materials.
