Thermal Contact Resistance

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi ,

I'm simply simulating a thermocouple and I want to define a thermal contact resistance at the interface of two metals. I studied the model of 'Thermal contact resistance between an electronic package and a heat sink'. I don't have gap or any surface roughness in my simulation (I'm sure the structure that I'm simulating from doesn't have any gap in between and the surfaces are very smooth.) I was wondering if there is a way to define a thermal resistance at the interface in this case of mine.

Bests, Aria
