Popis: An immersed boundary method is proposed for the analysis of conjugate problems of convective heat transfer with conducting solids. Inside the solid body, a momentum forcing is applied to set the velocity to be zero. The thermal conductivity ratio and heat capacity ratio between the solid body fluid are introduced so that the energy eqyatuib us reduced to the heat diffusion equation. At the solid-fluid interface, an effective conductivity is introduced to satisfy the heat flux continuity. The effective thermal conductivity is obtained by considering the heat balance at the interface or by using a harmonic mean formulation. The method is first validated against the analytic solution to the heat transfer problem in a fully develooped laminar channel flow with conducting solid walls. Then it has been applied to a laminar channel flow with a squared shaped obstacle to show its validity for the geometry with sharp edge. Finally the validation for a curvilinear solid body is accomplished for a laminar flow through arrayed cylinders.
