A system and method for computing thermal boundary conditions from an unstructured computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation for a thermal simulation of a structural component are disclosed. The thermal boundary conditions include convective heat transfer coefficient (HTC) and reference temperature (T). In one embodiment, prism cells are formed to capture boundary layer substantially next to a wall of the structural component. Further, tetrahedral cells are formed to capture a diffused temperature layer substantially next to the formed last prism cell and in a direction normal to the wall. Furthermore, temperature of each of the prism cells is computed in the direction normal to the wall until a substantially first tetrahedral cell. In addition, the computed temperature of the prism cell that is substantially adjacent to the first tetrahedral cell is declared as the T. Also, the HTC is computed using the obtained T.

A system and method for automatic generation and usage of fluid flow loss coefficients for T-junctions is disclosed. In one embodiment, a list of possible T-junctions is created using given geometric and flow parameters. Further, journal files are created using the geometric and the flow parameters associated with each T-junction. The journal files associated with each T-junction are pre-processed for creating a volume mesh. Boundary conditions and material properties for the volume mesh associated with each T-junction are defined. Simulation is performed using the volume mesh, the boundary conditions and the material properties associated with each T-junction to determine flow characteristics. Fluid flow loss coefficients for each T-junction are computed using the flow characteristics.
