Dear All,
Iam curious to understand if you have a model for Rotating Heat pipe simulation.
Can you share some examples?.
I don’t think you can find a ready made example of this. But we can help you set it up if you explain exactly what you want to simulate.
Hi,
Please check section 3.7 in the attached document. This is just an example. If you can help us in the model we will try testing various configurations please. Pipe will be in horizontal orientation

You may need CFD to simulate something like this. Unless you are only interested in the heat transfer in solids part (but boundary conditions would be tricky without CFD) or some mechanical aspects.
So, consider using OpenFOAM which is very powerful open-source CFD solver and also supports thermal effects.
